It's just bare/pure layout is easier to understand because it is
essentially a "mirror" of the upstream.

I OTOH think that it's less confusing to just keep it the same for all
the normal repositories - and you yourself did not rule out the
possibility to have local changes in the repository, in which case we
certainly should use the separate-remotes layout or we go back to last
year's refs mess.

That "local changes in the repository" will happen in the clone
created in kernel-src/ directory and I do not have any problem
using separate remotes there.  I was talking about the refs
layout used in .git/subproject/kernel26/, which is a mirror of
the upstream and the clone source for that (temporarily checked
out) repository at kernel-src/ directory.  After all, the
"mirror" is where you would push your local changes back into,
and it is more common to use non-separate-remote layout (without
even 'master'->'origin' mapping, hence I had to come up with a
new name 'pure', but I realize that what I meant really is a
'mirror') there.
