I think this was discussed on the list during the last development
cycle.  Please check the list archive.

"git config --help" has this to say about it:

    * `upstream` - push the current branch back to the branch whose
      changes are usually integrated into the current branch (which is
      called `@{upstream}`).  This mode only makes sense if you are
      pushing to the same repository you would normally pull from
      (i.e. central workflow).

    * `simple` - in centralized workflow, work like `upstream` with an
      added safety to refuse to push if the upstream branch's name is
      different from the local one.

      When pushing to a remote that is different from the remote you normally
      pull from, work as `current`.
