Nobody uses "origin" (what does that even mean?), [...]

I guess I'm "nobody" then, because I use it all the time.

Oh, I'm nobody, too, and so are many others ;-)

That depends on the definition of "many". My guess is that it's less
than 1% of users (probably 0.01%), and for me that's not many.

If you google for `git remote "set-head"` there's barely any
information. It's basically all online man pages.

Why would people need to use "git remote set-head" most of the time? The
symlink is set up properly by git-clone, and has been for many years.
For most people, using "origin" just works (the exception is people who
"git init" and then "git remote add origin" themselves; since we're
guessing at numbers, I would guess that _that_ population is less than
1% of users).
