Dear diary, on Mon, Mar 20, 2006 at 09:54:03AM CET, I got a letter
where Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> said that...

I think this sucks the way it is, because you still have only a single
namespace for remotes (still quite a huge improvement to the current git
situation), but you can have many upstreams. So it would be a quite more
reasonable to have:

	.git/refs/remotes/<remotename>/<headname>

This is also how I would like to do it for cg-clone -a (which I planned
to implement the last weekend... well... ;). Actually, I think I will
stay in .git/refs/heads/ at least for now until git versions with
.git/refs/remotes/ in the refs search path will be released.

Right now I am having amnesia and deja-vu at the same time.  I think
I have forgotten this before.
