Perhaps you would want something like this?

if you are using separate remote layout:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/pu:refs/remotes/origin/pu
	fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

Or traditional layout:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = refs/heads/master:refs/heads/origin
	fetch = refs/heads/next:refs/heads/next
	fetch = refs/heads/maint:refs/heads/maint
	fetch = +refs/heads/pu:refs/remotes/pu
