docs: discourage setting push options forever
We've seen some weird consequences which appear to be from setting the
base=main push option all the time - it's better to use some aliases or
something to set the options only when needed...

git push origin HEAD:my-new-branch -o base=main

```

-
If you want to always pick `main` by default you can set this in your
63
-
repository-specific *git* config
62
+
If you're using a git frontend (e.g. [Jujutsu](https://jj-vcs.github.io/jj))
63
+
which does not allow you to set push options, you may find it useful to
64
+
temporarily set them through the git configuration while performing git
65
+
operations. In Jujutsu, you might do that through these aliases:
64
66
65
-
```bash
66
-
git config push.pushOption 'base=main'
67
+
```toml
68
+
[aliases]
69
+
josh-push-base-main = [ 'util', 'exec', '--', 'sh', '-c', 'git config push.pushOption base=main && jj git push "$@"; git config --unset push.pushOption', '--' ]
70
+
josh-push-create = [ 'util', 'exec', '--', 'sh', '-c', 'git config push.pushOption create && jj git push "$@"; git config --unset push.pushOption', '--' ]
71
+
josh-push-force = [ 'util', 'exec', '--', 'sh', '-c', 'git config push.pushOption force && jj git push "$@"; git config --unset push.pushOption', '--' ]
72
+
josh-push-merge = [ 'util', 'exec', '--', 'sh', '-c', 'git config push.pushOption merge && jj git push "$@"; git config --unset push.pushOption', '--' ]
67
73
```

-
Setting this in your *git* config may also be useful if
70
-
you're using an alternative *git* frontend, for example
71
-
[*Jujutsu*](https://jj-vcs.github.io/jj/latest/), which does not provide the
72
-
ability to set push-options when pushing to git remotes
75
+
You must make sure you always unset the push option, even if your push failed.
76
+
Pushing with unexpected push options can cause accidental and annoying-to-fix
77
+
actions to be taken on your behalf
