GIT: warning message about "updating currently checked out branch" and why you should care

So, from what's been said, and some experimenting with multiple local
repositories, if I want to continue working in the same way described in
http://wiki.lunar-linux.org/index.php/Module_Submission_for_developers
I need:

1. On doppio to clone a bare copy of the central moonbase.git
   git clone --bare git://lunar-linux.org/lunar/moonbase.git remote.bare

2. On doppio, clone a working copy from that for the review script
   git clone remote.bare remote.work

3. On my box, clone a local working copy from my bare repo on doppio
   git clone ssh://me@lunar-linux.org/~me/remote.bare local.work

As far as I can tell so far, local.work no longer needs the
    git config --get-regexp '^(remote|branch)\.'
    git config remote.origin.push master:refs/remotes/satellite/master
lines that came from the Everyday GIT With 20 Commands Or So article.

In remote.bare I can now 'git push' to moonbase,git without warning,
but I now need to 'git fetch' from moonbase.git instead of 'git pull'

In remote.work, I can 'git push' to, and 'git pull' from remote.bare.

In local.work, I can 'git push' to, and 'git pull' from remote.bare.

I have to push/pull things via remote.bare if I want to share them
between remote.work and local.work because (a) my firewall is closed
so remote.work can't pull from local.work, and (b) local.work can't
push to remote.work because it's not a bare repo.

Phew! I think I'm getting my head around it.

Is there anything that I missed before I update the wiki page?

Cheers
