Okay, I'm confused: why are you waiting for 2.0 to change push.default
then?  Isn't that just a "slightly better default at the porcelain
level" and hence a "regular enhancement"?

You're not worried about breaking everyone's muscle memory (is that
not part of backward compatibility)?  So, if I understand correctly, I
can do changes like the following at any time (provided the reviewers
agree that they're sane):
1. Don't make 'git submodule add' stage (which is what this thread was
originally about).
2. Set pull.autostash to true (I still have to re-roll and finish it ofcourse).
3. Set color.ui to auto.
4. Alias 'git status' to 'git status -sb'.
5. Set help.autocorrect to 20.
