I think this makes the --create option to push unnecessary, as interactive 
users could use a suggested explicit value (or whatever they actually 
meant), while scripts could replace $name with $(git rev-parse --symbolic 
$name) as easily as they could add --create, and by more explicit as to 
what they're doing.
