I think I made a proposal that tries to reach some kind of consensus:

`git push`::
    no arguments given just pushes the current branch you're on, into
    origin, if a refspec matches.

`git push <remote>`::
    works like now (aka pushes all branches that match a remote branch
    in the given remote).

This way, you can have current "git push" using "git push origin", but you also have a convenient way to push only the current branch into your default remote repository without needing to spell out:

  $ git push origin `git symbolic-ref HEAD`
