With push.default=simple and remote.pushDefault pointing at a fork, git push pushes the branch to the fork, but @{push} fails with "cannot resolve 'simple' push to a single destination".
So git status cannot compare the branch with where it was pushed. Make @{push} resolve to where git push goes.
Changes in v2:
* Moved the "simple" @{push} code out of branch_get_push_1() into its own
function in a new preparatory commit.Harald Nordgren (2):
