What's merge+throw?  Care to explain?

This one I can understand, but how would you propose to "update
all branches", in other words what's your design for mapping
remote branch names to local branch namespaces?

It would be nice if the design does not straightjacket different
repository layouts different people seem to like, but I think it
would be Ok to limit ourselves only to support the straight
one-to-one mapping and support only separate-remote layout.
