Even though I fully agree that use-separate-remotes should be the default, to the point that I do not think we do not even need a backward compatibility option. People who want to use traditional layout for simple one-remote-branch-only project would not suffer anyway because 'origin' still means origin in the new layout (refs/remotes/origin/HEAD). We would need to update the tutorials to match this,though. I think it talks about the traditional layout and say 'See, now you can run "ls .git/refs/heads/{master,origin}"' or something like that.
