Having magic sections that prepend "branch." seems a bit suspect;
why not just be explicit:
[branch.Origin]
URL = ...
fetch = master
Wouldn't it be reasonable for git to impose modest restrictions on
branch names; such as restricting them to [a-zA-Z0-9] characters?
Then we just have to make section names case sensitve within the
config file; keys could still be case insensitive.
Actually it would be nice if we were consistent. If case matters to
git then the config file should be case sensitive. If case doesn't
matter to git, then it should consider "Branch", "branch" and "BrAnCh"
as the same in all contexts (eg. git branch -b BrAnCh). It seems
silly for us to say people are too dumb to handle case sensitivity
in a config file, but it's perfectly acceptable everywhere else.
