When synchronizing between working directories, it can be handy to update
the current branch via 'push' rather than 'pull', e.g. when pushing a fix
from inside a VM, or when pushing a fix made on a user's machine (where
the developer is not at liberty to install an ssh daemon let alone know
the user's password).
The common workaround – pushing into a temporary branch and then merging
on the other machine – is no longer necessary with this patch.
The new option is:
'updateInstead':
Update the working tree accordingly, but refuse to do so if there
are any uncommitted changes.

+Another option is "updateInstead" which will update the working
+directory (must be clean) if pushing into the current branch. This option is
+intended for synchronizing working directories when one side is not easily
+accessible via interactive ssh (e.g. a live web site, hence the requirement
+that the working directory be clean). This mode also comes in handy when
+developing inside a VM to test and fix code on different Operating Systems.
