Think of it not as a difference between you and Shawn, but as a difference in me back then and me now, who finally saw the light in your revelation after gaining a year's worth of experience ;-). Seriously, I did not ignore it, and I think some of your other comments in the message contributed to improved documentation. When your message was posted, the issue Shawn raised in his message was not so prominent, because people did not even get that "Pull: refs/heads/pu:refs/heads/pu" line in their remotes/ file by default back then. It was back in 0.99.9 era and a few days after your message, a patch was posted to put more than just the 'master' mapping in the remotes/ file clone creates. It became an issue after that change but we lacked the resources nor sense of urgency to do the out-of-band stuff, as we were busy working on other things.
