But many arguments to push don't make sense for subrepos. The URL? -r?
--branch and --bookmark may or may not work, depending on your branch
naming policy and how tightly connected your parent repo and subrepos
are.

I would say that passing --new-branch makes sense. Maaaaybe --force.
Most likely --ssh. Possibly --remotecmd, but if you are pushing to
different servers (ie. using absolute URLs for subrepos), that might
be a bad idea.
