When an end user does not know which remote ls-remote would be talking to
by default, what else does he *not* know?  Probably which remote "pull"
would be fetching from and what branch it would be merging with?  Doesn't
he have a better command to use to learn that information to reorient
himself when he is lost that way?

I'm not sure if there's a command to determine the remote - I'd be
interested to know it, if there's one.

What git seems to be missing is a "git info" command, which
would print out essentially something like what "svn info" does:
name of remote repo that we're tracking, name of current branch,
date/author/subject of last commit.
