It defaults to whatever you pushed first (and tells you this when you
do that push).  Possibly it should state the pattern on later
pushes...

_MTN/options is not the right default, because the common case we want
to support is that you always push something like
"net.venge.monotone*", so you never have to worry if you've forgotten
to push some particular branch, etc.

You can see what the current default is by doing 'mtn ls vars'; look
for "default-exclude-pattern" and "default-include-pattern".

You can change the default by doing a push/pull/sync, and passing it
the --set-default flag.
