Understood.

That makes sense. Naturally,
git pull linus experimental
git pull linus tag v2.6.13
should expand to:
git pull rsync://kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ experimental
git pull rsync://kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ tag v2.6.13
If a user is usually interested in e100 driver work, we should
allow:
echo rsync://kernel.org/pub/.../git/jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git#e100
>.git/branches/jgarzik-e100
and "git pull jgarzik-e100" should expand to:
git pull rsync://kernel.org/pub/.../netdev-2.6.git/ e100
If the user says:
git fetch jgarzik-e100 ieee80211-wifi
because the user wanted to peek his other branch just once, but
did not want to bother creating another remote reference
("jgarzik-wifi", perhaps) for this one-time use. This should
expand to:
git fetch rsync://kernel.org/pub/.../netdev-2.6.git/ ieee80211-wifi

Nice, and sounds doable without too much ambiguities. This last
one, however, needs to be coordinated with Pasky, if we want to
use .git/branches/$name convention. I think Cogito would barf
with your partial URL that ends with "...git/jgarzik/".
I'll code something up.
