Earlier I suggested to mention on push/pull help that: "If destination/
source is omitted, default path is used. See 'hg help paths'"
(now 'hg help urls').  Seeing the above patch I feel the information is
now buried bit too deep and is less useful than it could be.

I think mentioning that default target is used when not specifying it
and how to find more would be very helpful even if it surely feels
obvious for the experienced user.

I agree that the details of what constitutes default path is best left
on separate help topic.
