It is not "the question"; it is irrelevant because
$GIT_DIR/remotes/origin and [remote "origin"] are pretty much
interchangeable, and will hopefully continue to be.

        [remote "origin"]
                url = master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git.git/
                fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
                fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

would be the way to express the equilvalent of the example in
the previous message.
