The documentation for the command said that `push.default` is the default without referring to the releavant manual page. Now `simple` is the default behaviour. Document it right there where we say we take the default value from `push.default`, and remove the description of old default being 'matching'. Also reword cryptic desription of `--all`. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> --- * I skimmed our two tutorials, just to be sure, but they do not discuss 'git push', so there was nothing to update there. I *think* we are minimally ready to switch the default behaviour now, but there may be other places that need similar adjustment. An independent audit is highly appreciated.
