My primary aversion comes from that I'd rather avoid teaching
the really core stuff about .git/remotes file, and the part that
interprets refname is fairly a low-level part.
We _could_ record refs/remotes/origin/HEAD that points at
refs/remotes/origin/master (or some other branch) upon cloning,
and if Pasky wants to do something similar upon fetching, that
fetch command could do the same thing.
