I agree its odd, but is it really true that one (I) shouldn't be doing it?

Can I tell you what I'm doing, and check that it's not crazy...

I have my laptop and my desktop computer; I use both for development.  I've 
set them so that they are symmetric...

laptop:.git/config
 [remote "desktop"]
   url = ssh://blah blah blah
   fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/desktop/*
   push = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/laptop/*

desktop:.git/config
 [remote "laptop"]
   url = ssh://blah blah blah
   fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/laptop/*
   push = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/desktop/*

This is very handy, as git-push on one does the same as git-fetch on the 
other.  Have I made a glaring mistake by pushing to a remote ref?
