+ * When you do not tell which branches and tags to push to the "git push"
+ command in any way, the command used "matching refs" rule to update
+ remote branches and tags with branches and tags with the same name you
+ locally have. In future versions of Git, this will change to push out
+ only your current branch according to either the "upstream" or the
+ "current" rule. Although "upstream" may be more powerful once the
+ user understands Git better, the semantics "current" gives is
+ simpler and easier to understand for beginners and may be a safer
+ and better default option, but we haven't decided yet.
