should git push . from:to work?

Should I not be able to use . as a URL? git push seems to think . is a remote, not a URL:

mst@mst-lt:~/scm/sdpnetstat$ git push . refs/heads/master:refs/heads/ofed_1_2
fatal: remote '.' has no URL
mst@mst-lt:~/scm/sdpnetstat$ git push $PWD refs/heads/master:refs/heads/ofed_1_2
updating 'refs/heads/ofed_1_2' using 'refs/heads/master'
  from c16c0acb0906209868d5682d0668ada0f250da02
  to   cfc08ab244ece514f7c453d27397281129f14264

refs/heads/ofed_1_2: c16c0acb0906209868d5682d0668ada0f250da02 -> cfc08ab244ece514f7c453d27397281129f14264

So there's an easy workaround, but why does this work for pull but not for push?
