I propose that the origin of a branch comes from a file in .git/branches/ of the same name. So the origin of default branch master is the content of the file .git/branches/master that in the current practice would be "origin". But we could have the remote branch "git", being the origin of the local branch "git_dirs" (the content of .git/branches/git_dirs = "git").

What do you think?
