How can I specify multiple refs on one line in the config file?

How can I specify multiple refs on one line in the config file? For example, I want "git push" to push all heads and all tags by default so I tried this:

    [remote "origin"]
    	push = refs/heads/* refs/tags/*

That doesn't work, of course, but I imagine it is possible, and I just can't figure out the syntax.

Thanks, Steve
