Yeah, this is on my todo list, but it is pretty low. There is a little
bit of cleanup that probably needs to happen first to unify http:// and
git:// push (Daniel did some of that recently, but I haven't had time to
look carefully at his work).

If you wanted to work on it, I would be happy to help guide you.
Otherwise, I may get to it eventually.
