To flesh out my earlier example:

  $ git clone https://github.com/upstream/project.git
  $ cd project
  $ hack hack hack; commit commit commit
  $ git tag -m 'something of note' my-tag
  $ git remote add me https://github.com/me/project.git
  $ git config branch.master.remote me
  $ git tag -m 'something of note'
  $ git push master my-tag

My intent there is publish both master and mytag, but my-tag goes to
origin. It's obvious if you think carefully about (and know) the rules,
and it's user error. But what fault do we take for designing a feature
that causes confusion?

Maybe I am the only one who might make that mistake, and it is a
non-issue. But I would be much happier if git said "hey, are you sure
you wanted to push to two different remotes?". At least by default.
