Out of book lines

What do you do when your opponent plays out of book moves by as early as move 2? In other words, the line does not follow main line variations. I presumably think we don't keep developing our pieces in the normal opening fashion, and adjust play to accommodate unusual moves or deal with the aggressive attack? Comments?

  1. Punish it
    or 
  2. Transpose into another known line
