[PATCH 2/2] receive-pack: support push-to-checkout hook

When receive.denyCurrentBranch is set to updateInstead, this hook can be used to override the built-in "push-to-deploy" logic, which insists that the working tree and the index must be unchanged relative to HEAD. The hook receives the commit with which the tip of the current is going to be updated, and is responsible to make any necessary changes to the working tree and to the index to bring them to the desired state when the tip of the current branch is updated to the new commit.

For example, the hook can simply run "git read-tree -u -m HEAD $1" to the workflow to emulate "'git fetch' going in the reverse direction with 'git push'" better than the push-to-deploy logic, as the two-tree form of "read-tree -u -m" is essentially the same as "git checkout" that switches branches while keeping the local changes in the working tree that do not interfere with the difference between the branches.
