Maybe the push.default description needs some enhancements, but this
[3/4] is true.

I think the author meant to say if your local branch frotz by default
merges changes made to the branch nitfol of the remote repository, "frotz
tracks nitfol", but the use of the word "track" for that meaning appears
nowhere in Documentation/glossary-content.txt
So we can define:

push.default = "tracking" = "push the current branch to its upstream branch"

The "upstream branch" is defined in branch.name.merge and could also
be added to glossary-content.
Sounds like a good plan.  Please make it so.
