Smells like another "newbie" protection.
Let me understand, someone here installed git, didn't read the then
man page of git-clone/pull/fetch, screwed up their repo, and decided
to change established behavior.
Regardless, I think addressable (named) branch specs are the way to go.
This will as well, unify/reconcile remotes/ and local stuff, since
it is already implemented for remotes/ .
