Alternatively, if you can move the logic to set up this configuration further down so that it happens after we talked to the other side and figured out remote_head_points_at, you could instead set it up to keep a single remote tracking branch. Even if you did so, guess_remote_head() may not find any branch when the other repository's HEAD is detached, so you would need to decide what to do in such a case, and "fetch and integrate their HEAD without using any remote tracking branch" may be a reasonable thing to do in such a case.
