This looks like a good 'maint' material that can be applied straight
away there in preparation for 1.8.1.4 to me; reviewers watching from
the sideline, please stop me if you see issues.

As the additional "remote.public-repo.fetch" line hints, this does
more than "lets you do the same push with just [lazily]"; it also
starts pretending to have run a fetch from there immediately after
you pushed and update the remote tracking branches.  I couldn't
decide if it is a good idea to point it out in this point of the
flow as well, or it is too much detail that is not exactly relevant
while teaching "git push".  I tend to think it would be the latter.
