Again this seems to do a "step 1 goes in a direction, step 2 fixes its mistake, step 3 changes course" drunken-man's walk.

The same advice to restructure them into a logical incremental progression that moves the codebase in one consistent direction to eventually reach the goal at the end applies.

I see you are now using pushremote_for_branch() that is already used by branch_get_push(). If that gives us "the other thing" that we would want to compare, instead of adding yet another configuration variable users need to be aware of, that is really good.
