I thought the idea of @{u} was that it represents which ref one
typically wants to compare the current branch to. It is used by
'git branch -v' to show how far ahead or behind a branch is and
used by 'git pull --rebase' to forward-port a branch, for example.
So a topic branch with @{u} pointing to 'master' or 'origin/master'
seems pretty normal and hopefully the shortcuts it allows can make
life more convenient.
It is *not* primarily about where the branch gets pushed. After all,
in both the 'matching' and the 'simple' mode, "git push" does not push
the current branch to its upstream @{u} unless @{u} happens to have
the same name.
Hoping that clarifies,
Jonathan
