At least to me, mode in the context of 'push' suggest behavior. But maybe only for second time readers... > > I do not understand this [3/4].

Maybe the push.default description needs some enhancements, but this [3/4] is true. > I think the author meant to say if your local branch frotz by default > merges changes made to the branch nitfol of the remote repository, "frotz > tracks nitfol", but the use of the word "track" for that meaning appears > nowhere in Documentation/glossary-content.txt So we can define: push.default = "tracking" = "push the current branch to its upstream branch" The "upstream branch" is defined in branch.name.merge and could also be added to glossary-content.
