The `docker push` command up until [v0.9.1](https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/v0.9.1/api/client.go#L998)
always pushed all tags of a given image, so `docker push foo/bar` would push (e.g.)
all of `foo/bar:latest`, `foo:/bar:v1`, `foo/bar:v1.0.0`.
Pushing all tags of an image was not desirable in many case, so docker v0.10.0
enhanced `docker push` to optionally specify a tag to push (`docker push foo/bar:v1`)
(see https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/3411 and the pull request that implemented
this: https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/4948).
This behavior exists up until today, and is confusing, because unlike other commands,
`docker push` does not default to use the `:latest` tag when omitted, but instead
makes it push "all tags of the image"
For example, in the following situation;
```
docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
thajeztah/myimage latest b534869c81f0 41 hours ago 1.22MB
```
Running `docker push thajeztah/myimage` seemingly does the expected behavior (it
pushes `thajeztah/myimage:latest` to Docker Hub), however, it does not so for the
reason expected (`:latest` being the default tag), but because `:latest` happens
to be the only tag present for the `thajeztah/myimage` image.
If another tag exists for the image:
```
docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
thajeztah/myimage latest b534869c81f0 41 hours ago 1.22MB
thajeztah/myimage v1.0.0 b534869c81f0 41 hours ago 1.22MB
```
Running the same command (`docker push thajeztah/myimage`) will push _both_ images
to Docker Hub.
> Note that the behavior described above is currently not (clearly) documented;
> the `docker push` reference documentation (https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/push/)
does not mention that omitting the tag will push all tags
This patch changes the default behavior, and if no tag is specified, `:latest` is
assumed. To push _all_ tags, a new flag (`-a` / `--all-tags`) is added, similar
to the flag that's present on `docker pull`.
With this change:
- `docker push myname/myimage` will be the equivalent of `docker push myname/myimage:latest`
- to push all images, the user needs to set a flag (`--all-tags`), so `docker push --all-tags myname/myimage:latest`
