Which was intentional on my part. If the message says what to set it
to, the beginner will just go 'okay' and set it to that, in which
case, what is the point of changing the default? Hence pointing to the
man page.

Alternately, you could take the wall of text approach, which I was
trying to avoid:

  push.default is unset; its implicit value is changing in 1.8.0 from
  'matching' to 'current'. To squelch this message and maintain the current
  behavior post-1.8.0, use 'git config [--global] push.default matching'. To
  squelch this message and adopt the 1.8.0 behavior now, use
  'git config [--global] push.default current'. See 'git help config' and
  search for 'push.default' for further information.
