Re: git push doesn't use local branch name as default

you only get the "current" behavior when fetch_remote is non-NULL.

Well, then my suggestion actually is to also use the `current` behavior when fetch_remote is NULL - i.e. change

return (fetch_remote && fetch_remote != remote);

to

return (!fetch_remote || fetch_remote != remote);

I'd argue that if `simple` pushing is used, then the expected behavior of the command

git push <remote_name>

on a branch without upstream would actually be to use the `current` behavior instead of bailing out with an error.

Felipe,

thanks for your reply.

Sounds like you want to change the default to `push.default=current`.

Yes, but shouldn't `simple` pushing also work? The documentation says
about `push.default=simple`:

When pushing to a remote that is different from the remote you normally
pull from, work as `current`.

Perhaps this wording should be clarified to read

When you have a remote that you normally pull from but you are pushing
to a different remote then that one, then work as 'current'.

If there is no upstream, then there also is no "remote I normally pull
from", and thus, according to the doc, `simple` should actually work
like `current` in this case. Am I wrong here?

The relevant code is

     return (fetch_remote && fetch_remote != remote);

so you only get the "current" behavior when fetch_remote is non-NULL.
