Okay. I used "volatile", because push does not lock HEAD when the operation begins, even though it performs a super-late resolution (in the transport-layer); HEAD is not guaranteed to remain invariant in that time. Suggest nicer wording?

We're at 1.8.3; isn't it a little early to be thinking of 2.0? Is it conflicting with jc/push-2.0-default-to-simple in pu? I should re-send after this topic graduates to master in 2.0?

I have no problems re-sending at a convenient time (provided you tell me how to determine that convenient time), but reviews don't have to wait: it's fresh in my memory now.
