I think I would slightly prefer only pushing the currently checked out
branch but pushing all might be OK too.

Both of my proposals are currently not possible (neither C, nor EGit) as
you need to have * on both sides or on neither. And HEAD is always the
currently checked out tip of branch, so it doesn't make any distinction
if there is another push-spec besides a HEAD:refs/for/master... In fact
C-Git will complain if the push specs are non-unique.

The question was: Would it make sense to add some special handling to
EGit for the described use-case? Does any of the Gerrit users here push
something without review on a regular basis while also pushing equally
regular for review? Or do you guys put everything in a review even
prototypes? Or do you have a second repository for prototypes hosted
some place else?
