I'd put it the other way around: the intuitive explanation first, and
the technical one after. For people not totally familiar with Git, the
first part does not make much sense (and when I learn a new tool, I
really don't like when the doc assumes I already know too much about
it).
Also, this $HEAD Vs HEAD doesn't seem very clear to me. I don't have a
really good proposal for a better wording, but maybe replacing $HEAD
with $branch would make a bit more sense, as having $HEAD != HEAD is
weird.

I'd reverse the sentense too. In your wording, I get the feeling that
erroring out is the normal flow, and pushing is the exception
("unless").
"... except that it errors out if branch.$HEAD.merge is not equal to
$HEAD." ?

Here also, I'd have said "Dangerous, and inappropriate if you are
not ...".
