I would suggest a slightly advanced git config setting, if you have trouble 
remembering to push to both upstream and origin.

A good way to check if the push went through will be to just clone the repo in 
a tmp directory, and check if the latest commit shows. We are going to have a 
naive UI sometime soon, and that way, you can just log in and see that your 
commit has been posted. It will most likely be a gitweb interface.

Hope this helps for the time being.
