Yup! I actually was looking for such a thing in the git-push man page,
but was unsuccessful. I was living with git-push --all for a little
while before I thought I'd ask. Unfortunately, the preferred setup
(having the backup machine actively perform fetch and prune) is not very
nice for me due to firewalls.

I should have a look, but if someone else wants to work on this they
shouldn't block on me: work already made me get hit by a bus on one
project (luckily I wasn't important), and the storm is not over.
