+[[!tag patch]]
+
+git's behaviour when doing "git push origin" is configurable, and the
+default is going to change in 2.0. In particular, if you've set
+push.default to "nothing" (the "explicit is better than implicit" option),
+the regression test will warn:
+
+ fatal: You didn't specify any refspecs to push, and push.default
+ is "nothing".
+ 'git push origin' failed: at .../lib/IkiWiki/Plugin/git.pm line 220.
+
+The solution is to do "git push origin master" instead (but with the
+configured remote and branch names). --[[smcv]]
