Wow, I did not see that in the man pages... but I see it now.  Thanks!

So I guess I would change my ask to this:

"git push -u"

Should default to "origin branch" if no parameters are provided.

I think most people will agree, considering it already works this way :)

The default behaviour of git push changed in Git 2.0, perhaps you were 
reading some old tutorial. You can configure it to match your 
preferences by changing push.default value in your git config:
