I believe "git-push foo" with .git/branches/foo has worked the way it does
now from day one, so the above change you suggest breaks peoples'
expectations and documented behaviour, _if_ people are using "branches"
with git-push. It definitely is a no-go to just change the behaviour
without warning and deprecation period, but with a careful transition
plan, I personally do not think there is a fundamental reason not to
improve it (others may disagree).
I do not know what Cogito did when you told it to push with such a
configuration, though. Its "branches" had quite different semantics from
the concept of "remote" in git.
