Hi,

Well, no. They aren't. The "branches" concept is a proper special case of 
the "remotes" concept.

But what the heck, I don't care what you eventually use.

I only realized that we -- in the good tradition of UNIX -- have many 
different formats for different configurations: Some configurations are in 
.gitignore, some are in .git/branches/, some in .git/remotes/, some in 
.git/config, and even some in environment variables!

If everybody says that this should stay so, I'll just shut up.

Hth,
