There's been some talk about moving further in the direction of using
the current branch and current directory, like git does. I think the
historical reason for having to explicitly specify the branch is to
avoid shooting oneself in the foot. To avoid that oops from a quick
apply and push. The safety catch.

I'm not opposed, but this is the reason.

One comment below.

I think you mean **push-branch** shorthand.
