... or read the man better ;-)

       branch.<name>.merge
           [...] It tells git-fetch/git-pull which branch to merge and
           can also affect git-push (see push.default). [...]

       push.default
           [...]
           ·   matching push all matching branches. [...] This is the default.
           ·   tracking push the current branch to its upstream branch.
