With all due respect, I think you are mistaken.  C-x v v pushes by
default with CVS and with Bzr, and that has never been a problem.  Why
would it be a problem with Git when it is not a problem with the
others?

              Pushing by accident is bad.

If C-x v v is defined to push,
that will not be an accident.

That seems to be name-calling.  My workflow was not bad with CVS or
Bzr, so why should it be bad now?  You seem to think that it is ok to
disrupt the workflow of people like me who rarely use Git.
