I think you want:
[push]
default = current
[remote]
pushDefault = myfork
to make "git push" do what you want. And then generally have branches
mark their counterparts on "origin" (which you can do either at creation
time, or probably by using "git push -u origin my-topic" when you push
them).
This is similar to what I do for my git.git workflow, though I usually
have origin/master as the branch's upstream. I.e., I'd create them with:
git checkout -b my-topic origin
And then rebasing always happens on top of master (because "origin"
doesn't even have my topic branch at all). If I want to compare with
what I've pushed to my fork, I'd use "@{push}".
