Setting push.default to current adds the refspec "HEAD" for the
transport layer to handle. If "HEAD" doesn't resolve to a branch (and
since no refspec rhs is specified), the push fails after some time with
a cryptic error message:
$ git push
error: unable to push to unqualified destination: HEAD
The destination refspec neither matches an existing ref on the remote nor
begins with refs/, and we are unable to guess a prefix based on the source ref.
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:artagnon/git'
Fail early with a nicer error message:
$ git push
fatal: You are not currently on a branch.
To push the history leading to the current (detached HEAD)
state now, use
git push ram HEAD:<name-of-remote-branch>
Just like in the upstream and simple cases.
