Anyway, it's certainly easy to fix. Bill, you can either:

- just rename the "topic" branch to "master"

I don't think I want this.  I want to know I'm on the topic branch of 
that repo, anything else really makes me nervous.

The name in the bare repository does not matter as much as your _local_ 
name.

Well, being a git newbie, it kinda matters to me.  I need linearity
right now.  Anything that swerves is likely to result in me and my
project stuck in the weeds.

So, I tried a straight fetch:

% GIT_DIR=. git fetch git://source/public/project

This has one branch:

% GIT_DIR=. git branch
 topic

Ummm, I may have made a mistake here ... doing again to ensure I did
not mis-type above ...
