I'd prefer to leave this as is, because I think ad-hoc
promiscous pull shows the distributed nature of git better, and
add a new step after that to teach "remote add", telling the
user that "having to use longhand every time is tiresome, so
there is a nifty way to define a shorthand for a remote
repository you interact with often".

Other than that, I agree with the direction of your change to
use separate remote layout instead of mixed "incoming" branches.
