Sorry, but I do not agree with this.
What is bad is to push into a repository that is used for editing. That
is labelled as a bad thing to want to do.
It is often the easiest to push and then run "reset --hard" (perhaps from
the post-update script) to propagate your change to a repository that is
not usually used for editing. E.g. that has always been the way I update
my private repository at k.org that I use for final testing before pushing
out the results that I built and tested on my personal machine. People
who have live web pages served from a checkout do that, too. It is not a
bad thing to do at all, and you can find many instructions with google
without spending a lot of time to do exactly that.
