To me the default is not very clear. I read somewhere (I wish I could
find where that was again)
that push will e.g. push all the remotes that do not contain a push line
by default 
(or maybe only in case the remote belonging to the current branch does
not contain a push?).

Anyway the way I try at the moment to have push by default only push the
current branch 
is by setting up a separate remote for each branch even if they belong
to the same remote
subdirectory. In addition I have a remote named origin which contains a
line:
push = nothing:nowhere
which creates an error for the default case that has no explicit remote.

My .git/config looks something like this:

[remote "origin"
        url = git+ssh://myuid@server/gitrepos/myprogit
        fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
        fetch =
+refs/heads/TopicA_v0.14_Branch:refs/remotes/origin/TopicA_v0.14_Branch
        fetch =
+refs/heads/mypro-v0.31_Branch:refs/remotes/origin/mypro-v0.31_Branch
        push = nothing:nowhere
[remote "master"]
        url = git+ssh://myuid@server/gitrepos/myprogit
        fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
        push = refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master
[remote "topicA"]
        url = git+ssh://myuid@server/gitrepos/myprogit
        fetch =
+refs/heads/TopicA_v0.14_Branch:refs/remotes/origin/TopicA_v0.14_Branch
        push =
refs/heads/TopicA_v0.14_Branch:refs/heads/TopicA_v0.14_Branch
[remote "mypro-v0.31"]
        url = git+ssh://myuid@server/gitrepos/myprogit
        fetch =
+refs/heads/mypro-v0.31_Branch:refs/remotes/origin/mypro-v0.31_Branch
        push =
refs/heads/mypro-v0.31_Branch:refs/heads/mypro-v0.31_Branch
[branch "master"]
        remote = master
        merge = refs/heads/master
[branch "mypro-v0.31_Branch"]
        remote = mypro-v0.31
        merge = refs/heads/mypro-v0.31_Branch
[branch "TopicA_v0.14_Branch"]
        remote = topicA
        merge = refs/heads/TopicA_v0.14_Branch
