Besides in remotes file you have only specified which remote branch

There was some discussion about moving remotes information into config
file, including marking tracking branches as read-only, marking default
branch to merge (or marking branch as for-merge/not-for-merge), marking
branch as of not fast-forwarding type (like 'pu' in git.git) on the
_server_ side etc. But it petered out, unfortunately.

Thanks a lot for your comments, I have just put the RELENG_1 line in
the remotes and have RELENG_1 always checked out.
