I was wondering the URL shorthand you mentioned is being used in
practice.  In theory, you do not "have to write out in full"
anymore ;-).

And it's not necessarily just the branch handling, but more of a generic
shorthand: I'd love to be able to mix something like

	git pull jgarzik/misc-2.6 upstream

and "jgarzik" would be expanded (through something like .git/branches) to 
"master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/"), resulting in the 
_full_ path being expanded to

	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/misc-2.6 upstream

which I have to write out in full (or, more commonly, cut-and-paste) right
now.
