That's exactly my use case and why I asked the question.

However, now I'm reconsidering because local tags and branches are a
great feature to show off git. If the default is to push all tags and
branches just like a centralized VCS, it becomes an obstacle to
learning how git does it -- and I think that the more people learn
about git the more they will like it.
