As Junio already highlighted, the "branch.*" namespace is for actual
branch names.  This config option should go into "color.branch" or some
other spot.

I didn't.  And "branch.color = auto" is actually fine.

The problematic case is "branch.color.remote = purple".

Technically it is workable.. but why even start down the road of having
anything but branch names after a "branch."?   There has to be a better
spot for this variable, and it makes it more future proof, as you
highlighted.
