This patch series adds support for two new receive.denyCurrentBranch settings:
one to update the working directory (which must be clean, i.e. there must not
be any uncommitted changes) when pushing into the current branch, the other
setting detaches the HEAD instead.
The scenario in which in particular the 'updateInstead' setting became a
boon in this developer's daily work is when trying to get a bug fix from a
Windows computer, a virtual machine or a user's machine onto his main
machine (in all of those cases it is only possible to connect via ssh in one
direction, but not in the reverse direction).
Interdiff vs v1 below the diffstat.

Clean stale environment pointer in finish_command()

-There are two more options: "updateInstead" which will update the working
-directory (must be clean) if pushing into the current branch, and
-"detachInstead" which will leave the working directory untouched, detaching
-the HEAD so it does not need to change.
+Another option is "updateInstead" which will update the working

+intended for synchronizing working directories when one side is not easily

+Yet another option is "detachInstead" which will detach the HEAD if updates
+are pushed into the current branch; That way, the current revision, the
+index and the working directory are always left untouched by pushes.
