In response to
http://git-blame.blogspot.com/2012/03/please-discuss-what-git-push-should-do.html:

I think either 'current' or 'upstream' is a better default than
'matching', since it's less likely to surprise newbies.  However, I
cannot decide which of 'current' or 'upstream' is the best choice.  It
might be worthwhile to have 'git push' warn when someone has
push.default = current or push.default = upstream, AND when @{u} has a
different name than the local branch -- in other words, emit a warning
when 'upstream'' and 'current' refer to different branches.  The
warning itself should be turn-off-able, since it would get pretty old
pretty quickly.
