Two things:
* base names are case insensitive. Repository shortcuts are case
sensitive (and head names, too)
* to get rid of .git/branches/XXX, XXX has to be allowed as
base name. But XXX can contain anything a head name can (including ".").

Not really a problem. Use the ' for ' syntax:

[remotes]
	url = master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git.git for origin
	pull = master:origin for origin

Not really nice. We can not have "for" as head name.
