The git maintainer is trying to fix this asymmetry by making "git push" only push the current branch (rather than all branches). It's a slow process to change the defaults in something as widely used as git because doing so breaks scripts. See the new destined-to-become-the-default "simple" mode for "git push" in these release notes: https://raw.github.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.11.txt https://raw.github.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes... .
