This comes up on the list from time-to-time and is even in the FAQ. It
has even been suggested that HEAD be detached when pushing into a
non-bare repository, but I am not suggesting that again.

I wonder if it might be helpful to teach clone to setup a push line in
the cloned repo. i.e.:

[remote "origin"]
	url = ...
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	push = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

This could be a configurable default behavior when cloning from a
non-bare repo (can that be determined?) and/or as a switch
(--satellite perhaps?).
