receive-pack: add another option for receive.denyCurrentBranch
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.
