Do you mean 'not now' or never, i.e. not in git 1.6?

What does 'break the existing setup' means? Pushing all branches
that are configured in "remote.<name>.push" could be done by
"git push <name>". This would be in the line with the idea that
"git push" should only operate on the current branch and operations
involving other local refs should be explicitly stated.
