Avoiding useless clones is probably more important than avoiding
duplicate "Invalid update mode" messages.  I'll reinstate the case
statement in v5, but I think it should live outside of the “load from
config” block, in case someone adds the ability to set arbitrary
update modes from the command line (`--update merge`, `--update
'!command'`, etc.).
