A newbie colleague asked why: "git push <branch>" didn't work.

Although I know that "git push <repo> <branch>" is the correct
syntax, I think that he has a point.  If branch.<branch>.remote
is defined it seems unambiguous to me.

So I can't see any reason NOT to dwimify

    git push <branch>

into

    git push $(git config branch.<branch>.remote) <branch>

What am I missing?
