Well, another would be that by keeping remote_name and making remote
on-demand, we may still have to keep all the defined branches in
core but we do not have to instanciate all the remotes, if each
branch only knows the remote_name. A single look-up may be cheap
but that is not a good reason to do one-per-each-branch if we do not
need to.
