I believed that this was reported already but I could not find the bug. 

The push dialog does not remember the remote repository. If I push twice I have to maintain again the same information again.

I believe this is about the URI field of the Repository selection page. 
I think that simply filling that field with the "last used" value is very often wrong and annoying to the user when you push from different local repositories (unless we would implement some logic to map the "last used URI" value to the local repository). However, a "content assist" has been implemented for this field that shows you a list of "previously used values" from wich you can select one. If you put the cursor in the URI field, note the little light bulb to the left. If you press CTRL-space or type into the field, a (possibly filtered by your input) list of those previously used values will be shown as dropdown.
The implementation of this content assist is still not what it should be (see bug 315186), but in principle it works.
Does this address your problem?

The content assistent sounds cool. Thanks. Please close this bug.

Closing this as requested by reporter. It's not really a duplicate of 315186, but implementing the fix for this bug will certainly help in the usability of the content assist.
