Hello, Marco!

Thank you for all your fixes!  You have greatly improved usability of
qgit for me.

Well, the only example with multiple remotes is my Linux repository, and
I'm afraid it would be too large.  So I'm attaching compressed output of
git-show-refs.

Actually, I'm not sure if multiple remotes is such a common case to add
a level in menu hierarchy just to support them.

My feeling is that the popup menu is already heavily overloaded, and
some things just need to be accessed from specialized dialogs.

I think some design decisions should come from git.  What are we going
to do if there are thousands of tags and branches?  How are we going to
sort them in git?
