The other nice thing about the new scheme is that if new branches
appear in the remote repository, they automatically show up in
remote/origin/*.  Before, if new branches showed up after the initial
clone, you'd never know about it and it wouldn't be possible to
automatically create new branches in heads/ since it might conflict
with an originally existing branch in the local namespace.  So IMHO,
the separation of namespace is definitely a good thing.
