I wasn't arguing that, especially.  You were:

However, there are some values that might be useful to override on a
read-only branch
- - public_branch
- - child_submit_to
- - bound

Mostly, overriding these allows the user to compensate for inappropriate
settings.  Disabling bound would allow the user to interact with a
heavyweight checkout whose branch had gone missing.

More generally, the user should always be in control.  To the extent
that remote sites can set a policy, users should be able to override
that policy.
