But not supporting this in a first step should be no problem, as

That defeats the point of .git/remotes/ setup, and I suspect is
unacceptable to people who pull from a given branch of a given
repository repeatedly without ever tracking it.  Think of the
maintainer pulling from subsystem maintainers.
