Thanks for the quick reply.

I have a repository on github, a clone on my desktop and bare repo on a
private server, in my desktop the remotes looks like this

all    git@github.com:user/repo.git (fetch)
all    git@github.com:user/repo.git (push)
all    user@server.com:user/repo.git (push)
server    user@server.com:user/repo.git (fetch)
server    user@server.com:user/repo.git (push)
origin    git@github.com:user/repo.git (fetch)
origin    git@github.com:user/repo.git (push)

If I commit to master in my desktop and run 'git push all master', the
github and the server repos are correctly updated, but if I run 'git
status' the message says:

Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
  (use "git push" to publish your local commits)

But "all" and "origin" are different remotes. Just because you use the
same URL does not make them the same remote repository from the view of
your local repository.

I expected git to be "intelligent" enough to detect that if the url are 
the same, it had already exchanged information with the server by the 
push command, so it would update the message without explicitly pushing 
to origin.

(Additionally, "all" is not a special name, just in case you had
expected that.)

The message won't update unless I run git fetch or git push origin
master.

Yes, that's how it is supposed to work.

 From my point of view the current behaviour is counter-intuitive. 
Anyhow, I understand by your answer that the current behaviour is 
desired and it won't be changed.

I think there is some way to configure that a single push command pushes
to several remote repositories, but I can't find it right now...
