Re: Multi-head pulling series

I think that both, default and non-default persistant
mappings, are only a handy convenience issue for less
typing. If GIT core is not doing this, some (most?) porcelains
will invent their own way for storing these mappings (like
Cogito is doing with branches/). I think it is better if this
is "standardized".

I agree in principle, and it should not be hard to add support
for optional "Default-pull" and "Default-push" keywords to
remotes/ files (lack of which means to use LHS of refspecs on
"Pull" or "Push" lines) to git-parse-remote-script.  Patches
welcome.

Currently missing here is automatic detection of the remote
repository for a given head to be pulled/pushed. But this is
no format issue.

"git ls-remote <repo>" perhaps?
