Context: This is about the warning that a plain "git push" produces if no
push refspec are configured. The default behavior is to push matching
branches.

Unfortunately, the case with this warning is not that "simple" because it
is not about a planned change of the default behavior, but about a default
behavior that may be unexpected for newbies (see the release notes of
1.6.3). I *can* understand that Caleb is upset by the warning, since he's
comfortable with the (current and future) default behavior. But I don't
know what to do in cases like these.
