I see I was cc'd on that original, but I don't remember ever reading it.
It seems like a sane enough idea to me.

Although I did notice that you mentioned there:

I find I do that rarely, because I have:

  [push]
  default = current

and in a triangular workflow, I have:

  [remote]
  pushDefault = upstream

So "git push" without arguments typically does the same thing for me.

Not an argument against your patch, but just something you might find
useful.
