I still don't understand why this is useful, especially when git push
already has a "--all" option.

I know that I've never had the intent to push all the refs without
thinking about it first. Most of the time, I intend to push only
the current branch I am in.

The current behaviour made me remove the branches I was not actively
on locally, because I would get errors from "git push" all the time
saying that I was not up-to-date in those branches.

Note that the "git pull" issue is completely different, as it merges
or fast forwards the current branch only.
