I worry that a beginner seeing this message would think it means that
when "master" is set up to track origin/master that there is no way to
push that branch to any other repository.

Maybe something like

		die(_(
"You are pushing to remote '%s', which is not the upstream of your\n"
"current branch '%s', without specifying a refspec.\n"),
		    remote->name, branch->name);

would be harder to misunderstand.
