As the new default for "git push" would push to the same name, I
agree that people who are now forced to use local:remote syntax
would be the ones who know what they are doing [*1*].
So there are two remaining items, I think.
- After creating a tags/for-linus signed tag and pushing it to
tags/for-linus, asking request-pull to request that tag to be
pulled seems to lose the tag message from the output.
- Docs.

But this time I know I won't be in the middle of firestorm like
the one we had immediately after 1.6.0, as long as I keep the
URL of the message I am responding to in the list archive ;-)
