s.o. = someone, I thought it's a usual abbreviation.

I wondered about that, too.  In the docs we currently have:

	git-send-pack ... [--exec=<git-receive-pack>]
	git-fetch-pack ... [--exec=<git-upload-pack>]
	git-push ... [--exec=<receive-pack>]
	git-pull ... [--upload-pack <upload-pack>]
	git-fetch ... [--upload-pack <upload-pack>]

I have choosen 'pushexec' because that's the name of the option to push.
remote.*.receivepack is cleaner, as is

	git-push ...  [--receive-pack=...]

.  If we choose remote.*.receivepack, we should consider deprecating
--exec and introduce --receive-pack (--upload-pack resp.)

I thought that it would be cleaner to add this code to
git-parse-remote.sh and only do it if $(get_data_source) == 'config'.
But it's OK for me this way, too.
