I think I understand this from the git-push man page, but I want to make sure:

I have two branches, master and develop.

If I am (accidentally) sitting on master, and issue 'git push origin develop', does this properly push develop to remote develop, or does it push master to remote develop (which seems to be bad, in the most common use case.) ?

Thanks,

Ed
