Thanks for your feedback

I'm mostly using single remotes that's why I didn't even think of making
it configurable per remote. But you're right that makes more sense.

I'll try to make that modification to the patch.

As for my use case: I'd like to use default atomic pushes when pushing a
new tag among our stable branch, but inevitably forgetting to rebase
beforehand. Therefore pushing a "dangling" commit/tag
