This mechanism is called 'git clone --use-separate-remote'.

  --use-separate-remote
     Save remotes  heads under $GIT_DIR/remotes/origin/ instead  of
     $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/. Only the master branch is saved in the latter.
     (as origin).

(Shouldn't it be $GIT_DIT/refs/remotes/<repository>/ instead, BTW?)
And of course you can configure pull lines in the following way:

  Pull: refs/heads/<branch>:refs/remotes/<repository>/<branch>

Unfortunately, there is no way to automatically pull new refs and tags
in such a way.
