Wasn't "does not seem to find head" was very much deliberate?

Linus's patch wanted the users to explicitly tell the tool, without
tool trying to be too helpful and risking to guess incorrectly.
Some other trees (non-linux) work fine but I didn't yet
check whether it's the local or the remote tree that's
at issue.

Or maybe it's a configuration change that I missed?

Note: I have
[push]
        default = matching
configured in .gitconfig.
This should not affect anything in request-pull, I think.

I'm sorry I don't understand what you are asking here.
Same thing happens if I use a branch name explicitly, not just HEAD.
Linus's patch wanted the users to explicitly tell the tool, without
tool trying to be too helpful and risking to guess incorrectly.
So this is an intentional behaviour change?
Which patch do you refer to?

I just thought I'd mention this.
push behaviour is the only big incompatible change I'm aware
of between 1.8 which works for me and 2.0 which doesn't.
