While that would help in your example, I don't think that helps in general as there is no guarantee that any of the push urls refer to the same server as the pull url. If you set a single push url that pushes to mirror in your example then "git pull --rebase" still drops the local commit. I'm a bit confused by remote.pushDefault as if I set that to a url rather than a remote then it does not update any remote tracking refs. I had assumed it would behave the same as remote.<remote>.pushurl.

Thanks
