Ah; yes, you're right.  I can see this being very confusing to the
newbie, though.  Enough so that in beginner mode we might want it to
say:

   895be02..2fe5433   (remote) next -> (local) spearce/next

... especially since the git pull might follow up the pull with a
merge from the local remotes/spearce/next to the local next branch.
So it would be a good idea that it is clear when we are referring to a
local or a remote branch.
