It is far more subtle than that. User says that while on 'next' branch.

The user has been trained to think "branch.master.remote" takes effect while he has "master" branch checked out.

That is where the possible confusion comes from. As I said number of times, you may be able to declare that the confusion is unfounded once you think it through.

For exmaple, see

cf. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/218429/focus=220707

where I say "branch.next.remote" should not come into play when I say "git push --master docs release" while on the next branch and Peff gives a counter-viewpoint.
