Re: [PATCH v4 1/1] push: make 'set-upstream' have dafault arguments

* For push.default=upstream, If an upstream is already defined then
  'git push -u' should only set that branch as the upstream of the
  local branch. This already works in git. But if an upstream is not
  provied, it should throw error. So, I am not sure whether 'git push
  -u' (with no upstream information) should create a new branch with
  the same name or not. What do you think about that?

I think erring on the side of caution is more sensible than blindly
assuming that the user wants a new branch with the same name.

Thank you for working on the topic and thinking its ramifications
through.
