Ah, after firing off a few messages, I think I now guessed what you are talking about correctly.

You are talking about the separate remote layout "git clone" creates, and talking about the fact that there is nothing in refs/heads/ except master while refs/remotes/origin/ mirrors what the remote side has faithfully, aren't you?

If that is the case, I can explain. It is a good topic to talk about.
