Honestly, I am reluctant to do things that _encourages_ pushing into a live tree. - Who guarantees that the reflog is enabled for the HEAD? - Who guarantees that a human user is not actively editing the work tree files without saving? You would not see "dirty state", the editor would notice "the file was modified since you started editing it" and tell so to the user, but the user cannot recover from the situation without knowing to do the three-way merge between HEAD@{1}, HEAD and the index _anyway_. > +update_wc() { > + ref=$1 > + echo "Push to checked out branch $ref" >&2 > + if (cd $GIT_WORK_TREE; git-diff-files -q --exit-code >/dev/null) > + then > + wc_dirty=0 > + else > + echo "W:unstaged changes found in working copy" >&2 > + wc_dirty=1 > + desc="working copy" > + fi > + if git diff-index HEAD@{1} >/dev/null Are you missing "--cached" here? > + if [ "$wc_dirty" -ne 0 -o "$index_dirty" -ne 0 ] > + then > + new=$(git rev-parse HEAD) > + git-update-ref --no-deref HEAD HEAD@{1} > + echo "W:stashing dirty $desc - see git-stash(1)" >&2 > + (cd $GIT_WORK_TREE > + git stash save "dirty $desc before update to $new") > + git-symbolic-ref HEAD "$ref" This part feels somewhat dangerous.
