Hmm, I wonder if it would be possible to also add a "detach" variant; which would create a detached-HEAD at the current commit when automatically receiving a push to the working branch. I have a post-receive script that does so right now on a couple repositories. It's still a little confusing to someone actively working in the repository being pushed to, but it's much easier to explain than the current default behavior.

Cheers, Kyle Moffett
