A push cannot help but update HEAD, because HEAD is generally literally 
"ref: refs/heads/<current-branch>"; it doesn't store its own value, and 
the storage that it references is the storage that push is updating.

In fact, if you expect to be pushing to a non-bare repository, you 
probably want to have HEAD contain the actual commit currently checked out 
(instead of a reference to externally mutable storage), which you can do 
with "git checkout refs/heads/master".
