So the scenario is: one remote repository (probably shared), and multiple 
local repositories, all tracking different branches?

So, why not setup a single local (master) repository, setup all the other 
repos with the local master as alternate, and write a simple script which 
first fetches all branches into the master, and then pulls into the other 
local repos from that master?

The beauty of it is: you can still pull/push directly from the remote 
repo, if you want.
