What is the difference between git push origin HEAD and git push origin [current-branch-name]?

It looks like both accomplish the same task to me.
Are there cases in which they are different?

What is the difference between:
git push origin HEAD
git push origin [current-branch-name]

They mean exactly the same, since HEAD points to the tip of the current branch. See this answer for reference.

EDIT:

The only case in which this would not give the same result is when you are in detached HEAD state; but in that case, what is your definition of [current-branch-name]?
