Good one. I'm following this thread with interest, but it feels we've
been attacked by the 'bike shed bug' in the act of redesigning
Windows.ini.

As an end-user, I have personally stayed away from the increasingly
complex scheme for remotes waiting for it to settle, and stuck with
the old-styled .git/branches stuff which is slam-dunk simple and it
just works.

The normal non-branch config options don't need any of this fancy
stuff. And I think the branches is reasonably well managed as files as
is done in .git/remotes which is trivial to work on with standard
shell commands. What I mean is that I can grep them trivially to ask
"how many remotes pull from server X" or from repo Y. Or via rsync.

Also -- repo config is tricky in the sense of scope. I want all my
"dev" repos of different projects on my laptop to have mostly the same
config but radically different remotes listings.

So... call me old-styled... but I'm happy with one-file-per-remote.
Was it broken to start with? Should we restart the track renames
flameway instead?

cheers,

martin
