Sticky. I agree with you that that would follow the principle of least surprise.

On the other hand if I use

	git push --receive-pack='git -c receive.denyDeletes=false receive-pack'

then I would expect it to work. I don't think this is a security problem because I already could have set the remote $GIT_CONFIG just as easily.
