Note that the target of a "push" is normally a
<<def_bare_repository,bare>> repository. You can also push to a
-repository that has a checked-out working tree, but the working tree
-will not be updated by the push. This may lead to unexpected results if
-the branch you push to is the currently checked-out branch!
+repository that has a checked-out working tree, but a push to update the
+currently checked-out branch is denied by default to prevent confusion.
+See the description of the receive.denyCurrentBranch option
+in linkgit:git-config[1] for details.
As with `git fetch`, you may also set up configuration options to
save typing; so, for example:
NOTE: The changes are still visible in the submodule's reflog.
-This is not the case if you did not commit your changes.
+If you have uncommitted changes in your submodule working tree, `git
+submodule update` will not overwrite them. Instead, you get the usual
+warning about not being able switch from a dirty branch.
