Yes, that is exactly why I suggested "git push" without explicit

So if you are worried about breaking backward compatibility for
real men (iow people who use git-send-pack directly), it would
be a less impact change to (1) add --matching-heads option to
send-pack and perhaps http-push, and change their behaviour only
in that case, and (2) pass that option when git-push did not get
explicit refspecs to send from the user, either from the command
line nor from the config.

Ah, I (obviously) didn't pick that up from your original message. Let me
rework my patch and see if I can get something more reasonable.
