Right. That would be closer to "fail with explicit error when where to
push is not clear enough".

No strong opinion either, but I wanted to raise the point to make sure
we agree.

With your patch, "git push" fails with

  fatal: The current branch branch-name has no upstream branch.
  To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use
  
      git push --set-upstream origin branch-name

so it's not really bad: the suggestion guides the user to a situation
where the next "git push" will succeed unambiguously. As a side effect,
the next "git pull" will fetch from the same branch, which is probably
what the user wants if he hasn't explicitely configured an upstream
branch yet.
