Users can configure what strategy "git push" uses to determine which
remote branch it should push to. Cherry-picker doesn't work with all of
the git push strategies but we can make explicit what the remote branch
should be which works around that problem.
In my case, I had this in my .gitconfig (perhaps needed long ago when git used a less intuitive push strategy by default:
That caused git to push to the remote that the branch was branched from rather than trying to push to a branch with the same name as the existing, local one. Being explicit about both the local and remote branchname should just make the behaviour cherry_picker expects work in both default git configurations and customzed configurations.
