Do either of you use remote.pushDefault, branch.*.pushRemote, or

My triangular config for git.git looks like:
[remote "origin"]
url = https://github.com/gitster/git.git
[remote "github"]
url = https://github.com/peff/git.git
[remote]
pushDefault = github
[branch "jk/foo"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
Then upstream comparisons, "git rebase" etc without arguments, do what I
want: compare against master. And "git push" without arguments does what
I want: push this branch to my fork. And if I need to refer to the
pushed version for some reason (e.g., comparing what I just changed to
what I last sent out, "git range-diff @{u} @{push} HEAD" does the right
thing.Yeah, I do recall we had quite a lot of design discussions around "triangular" workflow when we introduced these facilities, and if I am not mistaken, the above is the way they are designed to be used. Thanks for an example.
