Since 664059fb62 (Felipe Contreras, Apr 17 2013, transport-helper: update
remote helper namespace), a 'push' operation on a remote helper updates
the private ref by default. This is often a good thing, but it can also
be desirable to disable this update to force the next 'pull' to re-import
the pushed revisions.
Allow remote-helpers to disable the automatic update by introducing a new
capability.

Indeed (the new option is shorter, and I didn't rewrap). It doesn't
really matter, but in case, here's an updated version.

When choosing between 'push' and 'export', Git prefers 'push'.
Other frontends may have some other order of preference.
