Sounds like a sane thing to do, but I am sort of surprised that you are
still on 1.6.5-rc1 ;-)

How does this interact with one of the "unapplied patch" you reminded me
of, namely, this one:

    From:	Björn Gustavsson <bgustavsson@xxxxxxxxx>
    Subject: [PATCH] push: fix usage: --tags is incompatible with --all and --mirror
    Date:	Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:39:05 +0200
    Message-ID: <4AD75029.1010109@xxxxxxxxx>

        Correct the usage text to make it clear that --tags cannot
        be combined with --all or --mirror.

The option description that comes from parse-options may need to be
updated as well, no?
