Wait, why isn't that a good thing? The beginner only has to learn one
set of semantics. My only complaint is that the warning does not
explain how to specify "squelch this warning and give me the future
semantics instead".
So maybe:
warning: You do not have an explicit 'matching' setting for push.default.
warning: Your workflow will be broken at 1.8.0 unless you do so now.
hint: See /usr/share/doc/git/RelNotes/1.7.5.txt for details.
