Re: Not pushing all branches?

Doing "git push remote" pushes all my local branches by default. Is there 
a way to set it to *not* do that, and (for this particular remote

run "git push" without specifying a branch?

The git-config manual page leads me to believe that I should recofigure  
"remote.<name>.push", but it points me to the "refspec" spec on git-push,  
which is a tad cryptic.

There seem to be a lot of responses in this thread, but nobody has
suggested:

  git config remote.$remote.push HEAD

It isn't mentioned in the git-push manpage; maybe a documentation patch
to give an example using HEAD would make sense?
