I'd certainly welcome this change for two reasons:
1. It makes the behaviour more conservative (that is, harder to do
something destructive and irreversible) by using the more limited
scope by default. If you make a mistake and see that you really meant
to push all matching branches then you can just do the push again
with that switch; compare that to the situation now where if you
accidentally push all matching branches when you only wanted to push
the current branch then there's no way for you to "unpush".
2. Mental baggage from working with SVK (where "push" means merge
changes back to the branch the current branch previously branched
from, and "pull" means merge changes into the current branch from the
branch you previously branched from). At least for me and I suspect
for many others the "current only" default in 1.6 or latter would be
less "surprising" than the current behaviour can be.
Cheers,
Wincent
