I think "branch mapping" you recall are for those who want to push
their 'topic' to 'review/topic' or something like that.  With Git
post 7cdebd8a (Merge branch 'jc/push-refmap', 2013-12-27), I think
"remote.*.push" can be used to implement that, by the way.

Same here. I do not bother a/b in prompt and comparison with
publishing point is done with a custom script.  It would be nice to
have it natively, and @{publish} would be a good first step to do
so.
