If the conclusion of the discussion is that we will change the default,
the transition to the new default will go like this:
I am in general agreement with the course of action outlined. There is
one little thing I had expected in addition, that is not discussed:

 --force should change behaviour, immediately, to "current" or even
none (forcing the user to name the remote and branch explicitly).

The potential for messups with --force combined with "matching" and a
repo that allows it is considerable. And I cannot imagine any
mainstream use cases for --force defaulting to matching; at least none
important enough to counterbalance the damage.
