I think it depends on one's workflow. If you use a centralized workflow
as with CVS then yes, 90% cases you want to push the current branch. On
the other hand, if people push their changes to the server only for
review, it means that accidentally pushing more than one intended is not
a big deal. The only one who does publishing to the official repository
is the maintainer, and the maintainer is most likely to run some tests
after merging all changes, which takes some time. So, it is rarely push
the current branch, it is usually the branch that has been tested, so
the name of the branch should be specified explicitly anyway.
