I'd rather not go this route.  Allowing refs/heads/master and local
branches that forked from it in refs/heads/master/{a,b,c,...} could
be a potentially useful future enhancement,

Want! We're currently going the route of naming the branches

  master
  feature/master
  feature/subfeature/master

to allow feature/subfeature/topic, and feature/subfeature in the first place.

(Other hierarchy separator candidates were ugly, shell-unwieldy, already
commonly used within branch names, or illegal.)
