This is only a question of the default; why couldn't you (when
it exists) use?

  git clone --dont-use-separate-remote URL

Because I do not need it ;-).  If we switch the default to
separate-remote, I'd just let clone to lay it out that way and
then update the ref layout myself to suit my needs.  So it is
really just the matter of deciding which is more appropriate
default for the majority.
