That is not good enough.
People who (think) know what an unconfigured "git push" would do would
suddenly see "git push" start misbehaving in their new repositories.
Here is a patch to do what I suggested earlier. It
* Adds "--matching" option; if we ever change the default to "current
branch only", then "git push $there :" forces people to type $there.
"git push --matching" allows us to honor "branch.<name>.remote".
* Issues a deprecation warning when "git push" and "git push $there" is
used to trigger the "matching" behaviour, without configuration or
explicit command line refspec ":".
Whoever wants to change the default to "current branch only" can change
the part that calls push_deprecation_warning().
I'll leave it up to people who want to change the default to implement the
same for non native transports and document the transition plan, as I am
not very keen on changing the default myself.
