Yeah, otherwise every push to a remote other than origin would require a
refspec. I think with respect to for-each-ref, this "triangular" case
would only kick in if you define remote.pushDefault (since you can't
specify a remote on the command-line).

Though hmm. I guess maybe it could kick in if the upstream of the branch
is on a non-default remote? For push, that would work because
remote_get() will look at the current branch. But of course in
for-each-ref, we're asking speculatively about other branches.

So I think if we want to support this triangular logic in for-each-ref,
we need to have a more careful definition than what's in push.c's
is_workflow_triangular(). I.e., it would probably make sense to consider
it from the position of "if we were on this branch, what would it push".

And ditto for @{push}, I guess.

Yeah. I think in the triangular case (at least as defined in push.c)
we'd always be pushing to the non-upstream, so this die() makes sense.

In for-each-ref, I guess we'd hit this case with remote.pushDefault
again. Without that, we'd always be pushing to the upstream anyway.

Yes, I agree this could be improved. I'm OK leaving that as a separate
fix to your current remoteref work, though.
