Isn't it the same with tracked branches of a remote git repo? With this reasoning, all heads that git-clone clones aside from the special "master" should not be under .git/refs/heads, but better under .git/refs/remotes/<remoteRepoName>/ ? <remoteRepoName> is "origin" in the case of git-clone, so .git/remotes/origin would contain URL: http://host/repo.git Pull: master:remotes/origin/master Then there would not be the need for the confusing special branch "origin" after cloning, as namespaces are separate.
