If anybody wants to further discuss possible rephrasing of the advice messages, please do not base your discussion without what was discussed already in the previous round and what issues need to be taken into account.

A good text to use as the starting point of your discussion is the advice messages in 'master'; use c5da24a (Merge branch 'ct/advise-push-default', 2012-04-20) or anything more recent. Also see

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/193079
for the discussion that led to the current text.
