Exactly.  And some people are unhappy about it, because they prefer
to work per-branch basis, as opposed to having to perfect everything
into a publishable state first and then finally push everything out
in one go.

I am not saying default=single would be _the_ single right way to
solve it, but "when you have default=single, remote.$name.push is
used only to describe the mapping, not forcing you to push
everything out at once" is one possible solution to that.
