Would be nice to get some feedback here.

This is maybe not the most pressing issue, but I remember being quite dumbfounded when I was a new Git user; not understanding why some commands required one format "origin/main" and other required "origin main". It would be better if we could actually solve it, but I suspect it's hard without breaking backward compatibility, so maybe this is a good middle road?
