Right; that mapping is no longer what git clone sets up for you.

The simplest way to understand the current behavior is probably to
install the latest git, read the git-clone man page, clone a new
repository, and take a look at it.

Remote branches are stored in separate namespaces under
.git/refs/remotes/, so that they don't muck up your view of your local
branches, and so git can enforce different policies for them (such as
forbidding committing to them).
