This new configuration variable overrides `remote.pushdefault` and
`branch.<name>.remote` for pushes. When you pull from one
place (e.g. your upstream) and push to another place (e.g. your own
publishing repository), you would want to set `remote.pushdefault` to
specify the remote to push to for all branches, and use this option to
override it for a specific branch.
