Doing this unconditionally when the user says "git push there this" would be mildly annoying.

I think this belongs to either --verbose or even --debug, for people who are trying to make sure an underspecified "git push" (or "git push there") does what they want, but for those use cases, it probably is better to tie this to --dry-run.
