git branch -a prefixes origin/ branches with remotes/

In git 1.6.6.1 & 1.6.3.3, "git branch -a" output is like this
* master
  remotes/origin/foo
  ...
instead of like this for 1.6.1.3
* master
  origin/foo
  ...

Is this a feature or bug? I searched the mailing list archives and announcements couldn't find any reference to this change.

This is important to me because I use the output of "git branch -a" in scripts.

Thanks.
