Aren't we doing a lot of work (changes in core git, and corresponding
changes in the porcelain) when simple changes in porcelain would
suffice? Let's imagine that

 - git-commit refuses to commit to a head that has a corresponding
remote (cg-commit does this already with heads that match something in
'branches')
 - git-$SCMimport scripts generate a semi-bogus remotes/headname entry
 - git-pull/push can spot and ignore the semi-bogus remotes/headname entry
 - this means that `touch remotes/foo` is now a cheap way of making
the head readonly
 - depending on the git-$SCMimport script, the remotes/headname file
can perhaps contain useful configuration data for the import, so
git-$SCMimport headname does the right thing.
