There's at least one caveat with the 'git checkout synced/master' workaround. When the local assistant next tries to sync with the remote, it will try to push, and the remote will refuse the push into the currently checked out branch:
[2014-12-26 02:40:10 EST] main: Syncing with nyc.nanobit.org_annex
remote: error: refusing to update checked out branch: refs/heads/synced/master
remote: error: By default, updating the current branch in a non-bare repository
remote: error: is denied, because it will make the index and work tree inconsistent
remote: error: with what you pushed, and will require 'git reset --hard' to match
remote: error: the work tree to HEAD.
remote: error:
remote: error: You can set 'receive.denyCurrentBranch' configuration variable to
remote: error: 'ignore' or 'warn' in the remote repository to allow pushing into
remote: error: its current branch; however, this is not recommended unless you
remote: error: arranged to update its work tree to match what you pushed in some
remote: error: other way.
remote: error:
remote: error: To squelch this message and still keep the default behaviour, set
remote: error: 'receive.denyCurrentBranch' configuration variable to 'refuse'.
