To me, this sounds like there are multiple HEADs and this selects the current one to be pushed, which would be wrong. Maybe this could be written as: Restrict pushing to the currently checked out branch head. Which is also in line with the error message that is produced when you're on a detached HEAD. > +Refspecs given in the configuration are still used to find the > +destination name of the current branch.

Hm, this only talks about refspecs in the config, but your patch series is especially about push.default=tracking, which is not a refspec set in the config, but causes a refspec to be generated on the fly. Maybe: With this option, defaults given in the configuration, either as push refspecs for the remote or as a global push default, are still evaluated, but only the currently checked out branch is pushed. This means that this option, unlike the `HEAD` refspec, supports a destination name that differs from the source name. However, this option cannot be specified if an explicit refspec is given on the command line, because it would be useless and possibly confusing. Which also explains a bit how this option differs from using the HEAD refspec. > ++ > +Additionally, if there is no refspec in the configuration and no > +`push.default` configuration either, with this option git will use a > +default refspec of `HEAD` rather than `:`. Hm, this looks kind of funny with my rewrite of the previous paragraph, so: Additionally, if there are no push defaults given in the configuration at all, this option makes git default to `HEAD` instead of `:`.
