From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

When trying to push all matching branches, but none match, we offer a
message suggesting to push the `master` branch.

However, we want to step away from making that branch any more special
than any other branch, so let's reword that message to mention no branch
in particular.

Hmph, not just "specify a branch."?  Maybe it is just me, but
"specify a specific branch" did not roll well on my tongue.

Oh well. "Perhaps you should specify a branch" sounded too judgmental to
me, but I'm not a native speaker, so I simply removed the word "specific".

I'm not either.  Note that when I say "maybe it is just me", I
usually am not asking to change anything.

We should start a society or something ;-)

Of course! In this instance, your suggestion made me think and prefer the
non-repetitive version (because let's face it, taking out that word did
not make it any more or less judgemental).
