Has the design changed since this description and examples were
written?  The documentation talks about ":remote-name".  I suspect
calling this ":remote" might be less hassle, as we do not have to
vet the current vocabulary to see if "remote-name" is the right way
to name a multi-word modifer (as opposed to "remotename", or
"remoteName", or "remote_name", or...).

Aside from "':remote-name'?  Do we really want that?" issue I
already mentioned, the changes to this file look sensible.

I think "int explicit = 0;" is needed, as pushremote_for_branch()
does seem to expect that the "explicit" return parameter is
initialized by the caller.

This one is debatable.  For the user of "push" who wants to learn
where the branch is pushed to, the choice this patch makes is not
useful (i.e. such a user does not care where the definition comes
from; s/he only wants to know where the push goes).  For the user of
"git config" who wants to know how pushremote is configured, and
does not want to accept the fallback to remote, the behaviour of
this patch is useful.  I have a mild suspicion that majority of
users who would want to use this feature would fall into the former
category, i.e. users of "push", rather than the latter, i.e.
debuggers of their config files, and if that is true, we can drop
the whole "explicit" business to simplify the code and get a more
useful behaviour at the same time ;-)

I am not sure what is going on here.  

Are we expecting "push:remote-name" here, or anticipating
"push:remote-bar" can also be given or what?
