Perhaps.

The "push to multiple places" is mostly for Linus backing things up, and I tend to agree that your "alias" notation makes things appear to be more general. However, I do not think you would want to push to two different places with different branch mappings, so I suspect that generality is not buying you much while making things more easily misconfigured.

Probably "origin" is a better name for it; I was assuming "branch.<branch name>.remote = foo" refers to a [remote "foo"] section and means "when on this branch, pull from foo and merge from it".
