Probably a good idea indeed.

One potential objection though: I think many people know

  git push origin master

(not that they necessarily understand it, but I've seen many people talking
or asking questions about what "origin master" is)

This "git push origin HEAD" is IMHO less common. It may confuse users.
Or users may learn it and be happy thanks to your message. I don't know.
