I suspect that people (probably rightfully) just say "git push" without saying anything else, and the so-useful-for-old-timers default "matching refs" behaviour bites them when they do so.

If you create a non-bare clone, clone from that, and then try to push from the second generation clone to the first generation non-bare clone, surely there will be "matching" remotes/origin/, except that they are not really matching X-<.
