Dear diary, on Mon, Sep 25, 2006 at 12:34:24AM CEST, I got a letter
where Santi <sbejar@gmail.com> said that...

That's basically right, the point is that with moving to remotes
support, we will make each remote live in its own separate namespace,
so when creating new remote branch, it won't live as refs/heads/git
but as refs/remotes/git/master (referencing to it as 'git' will still
work as long as you won't have a local 'git' branch, in which case
you will have to use 'remotes/git'). Cogito will certainly still have
to support using the old setup, but it will not support creating it
anymore.
