If you do not have none of .git/origin

Really? I thought refs are always looked up in ".git/refs" only?

, .git/refs/origin, 
.git/refs/tags/origin, .git/refs/heads/origin, nor
.git/refs/remotes/origin, then .git/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD is
what "origin" means (see get_sha1_basic() in sha1_name.c).

Yes.

However, IMHO it really should be a alias to "remotes/origin/<branch>",
depending on current "<branch>" you are on. AFAI can remember,
when implementing it, HEAD was choosen as sha1_name.c should not
cope with porcelain issues (e.g. getting current branch name).
It was the intention to change remotes/origin/HEAD in the porcelain
command before actual use.

Is this still sensible?
