I can apply the changes from these three messages, but I don't really
know the side-effects of it. Should I do it and submit a patch?

I noticed that it still won't work with tags (although it starts working
with 'origin' which then defaults to origin/HEAD). I can imagine we need a
few more tests on top of that.
