I'm not too surprised if there's a bug there. IIRC, the way the code is
structured, some of the logic had to be reimplemented for @{push} rather
than re-used, so there may be corner cases where they do not agree.

I assume you have branch "foo" checked out?
With this config I don't see how "git push" would work. Because you're
using "simple", it should complain that "develop" and "foo" are not the
same name.
Can you give a more full reproduction recipe? If I try:
git init tmp && cd tmp
git config push.default simple
git commit -m foo --allow-empty ;# just to have some commit to push
git init --bare dst.git
git remote add origin dst.git
git push origin master:refs/heads/develop
git checkout -b foo origin/develop
# pushdefault of "origin" is already the default. checkout will have
# set up branch.foo.* as you specified. So let's try our push.
git push
Then I get:
fatal: The upstream branch of your current branch does not match
the name of your current branch. To push to the upstream branch
on the remote, use
git push origin HEAD:develop
To push to the branch of the same name on the remote, use
git push origin foo
which makes sense.
If you _don't_ get that same message with "git push", then my next
question is: might you have any aliases or other systems like "hub" that
are munging the arguments to "git push"? Running with "GIT_TRACE=1" in
the environment might be enlightening there.

The tests are in the "t" directory; see t/README for details. You can
run them all with "make test" from the top-level directory.
