Conceptually, it feels just wrong to me that a section name should contain a filename. A section is something which contains data regarding a certain concept. Such as "core", which has values concerning the core of git.

In that sense, I stay with my preferance:

[branch]
	defaultRemote = bla for bloop
	defaultRemote = connery for sean

No need to extend the simple config file. And remember, it is so simple, because it is so strict.
