Now that the code has been simplified and it's clear what it's actually doing, update the documentation to reflect that.

I'd like to remark that I personally find the following description of `push.default=simple`, taken from the git push man page [1], easier to understand:
The current branch is pushed to the corresponding upstream branch, but as a safety measure, the push is aborted if the upstream branch does not have the same name as the local one.
