Long, long day coding up the direct mode guard today. About 90% of the fun is dealing with receive.denyCurrentBranch not preventing pushes that change the current branch, now that core.bare is set in direct mode. My current solution to this involves using a special branch when using direct mode, which nothing will ever push to (hopefully). A much nicer solution would be to use a update hook to deny pushes of the current branch -- but there are filesystems where repos cannot have git hooks.

The test suite is falling over, but the directguard branch otherwise seems usable.
