+1 on changing the default to 'upstream'.

Having the same branch name on remote vs local repo shouldn't mean
they're necessarily the same branch (as what would be assumed with
'matching').  Also being explicit beforehand what remote branch the
local branch points to removes all doubt as it what 'git push' should
be doing for the owner of the local repo.
