It is.

Yes, I thought so. Sorry for the confusion. When I asked "will your provided patch fix these failing push commands" you answered "It's not really a patch (yet), but yeah: it will". So that's why I thought so.

My point simply is: For the sake of easiness of use, I think the following should work with the default settings of git:

    git clone $url
    git checkout -b fix-1
    # do commits
    git push           # should push to origin/fix-1
    # others push to origin/fix-1 (but no local changes)
    git pull           # should pull from origin/fix-1

Will this be implemented?
