Hi Dscho. I think you've misread my email. (Or not read it. ;-)) I do not expect git-push to update the working copy of the repository being pushed to. In fact my complaint would be more that it *does* appear to modify the working copy (well, not so much modify the working copy as get confused about which revision the working copy came from) when the working copy came from HEAD.
