(1) is useful to be able to do in a very lightweight way when doing  
tab completion on remotes. Having heads, tags, remotes in nicely  
named separate files makes that pretty straightforward; I don't know  
if using a git-config- accessor would make this noticeably worse,  
though, as I haven't tried anything out there yet.
