When working with the local repository, git-branch doesn't list that as "refs/heads/next" it just lists "next". Why all of a sudden when trying to fetch it from a remote repo must a user know about "refs/heads"? This seems like an internal detail slipping into the user interface. But maybe i'm wrong, when would it ever be anything other than "refs/heads/<branch>"? If it's _always_ "refs/heads", couldn't that prefix just be assumed if not provided by the user?
