Exactly.

Incidentally, that is why I usually favor the current 'matching' default.
If I decide to push something to the other repository, the other
repository remembers my wish, so I do not have to keep track (of course,
for that to work effectively, you have to _own_ the other side; it does
not work well for a shared public repository and that is why we had a
lengthy discussion on push.default).
