AUR_PRIVILEGED allows people with privileged AUR accounts to evade the
block on non-fast-forward commits. While valid in this case, we should
not do so by default, since in at least one case a TU did this without
realizing there was an existing package.
( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtmidi/ )
Switch to using allow_overwrite to check for destructive actions.
Use .ssh/config "SendEnv" on the TU's side and and sshd_config
"AcceptEnv" in the AUR server to specifically request overwrite access.
TUs should use: `AUR_OVERWRITE=1 git push --force`

Add a note to the Git/SSH interface documentation that we recommend to
disable automatic garbage collection and use a maintenance script to
cleanup and optimize the Git repository instead.
Also, add a reference to the Git/SSH interface documentation to the Git
repository setup instructions in INSTALL.

In 002d348 (Describe how to omit "have" lines, 2015-11-14), we added
instructions on how to omit "have" lines originating from other package
repositories. Fix those instructions such that the HEAD ref of the
repository is transferred properly.

feature in the INSTALL instructions and in the Git interface
documentation.
