Is this the road towards
1) "git push --matching" push matching branches.
2) "git push --current" push only current branch.
3) "git push" report error if the config does not contain a Push line.
    (after it reported a warning for a while).

I'd like to see this too. Unfortunately it's unlikely that I'll start
working on it before next weekend.

"--matching" would be a no-op at this time. Only a warning would be  
printed
if it is missing. Right?
