git's defaults have historically been so unreasonable that I never push
without explicit mention of both local as well as target reference.  It
decidedly is less of a nuisance than having to clean up after Git goes
overboard.

Nowadays the defaults may be saner (and the setting configurable in the
first place).  Still, the "nuisance" is comparatively small, and in
exchange you know just what _any_ version of Git will do.  And if you
quote your process, nobody will get double-crossed by following your
example.
