I don't think "push.style" is an improvement. "style" sounds like it affects all pushes. This configuration variable says what push should do when no refspec is given and none are configured, so the word "default" should be in there at least. Maybe "defaultref" would have been better?

Some people may have started setting push.default already, so changing the name may cause additional grief.
