It's just occurred to me that this might be a slightly dangerous 
setting. If HEAD happens to be your private topic branch because you 
forgot to switch back to the main branch, it will cheerfully push your 
no longer private branch. If you have separate git dirs for each live 
branch, it might be better to set the default push refspec to that 
branch explicitly. Of course, if you're using the multiple workdir 
pattern, that won't work because then they all share a common .git/config.

But maybe I'm just being a bit paranoid.
