I'm not sure if remotes shortcuts and configuration (which branches should
be pulled, and to which branches) should be in branches configuration. It
is somewhat confusing. Branches configuration might be used for default
pulling, e.g.
[remote "kernel.org"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
pull = master:origin
...
pull = +pu:pu
[branch "origin"]
pull = kernel.org
readonly
[branch "pu"]
pull = kernel.org
readonly
fast-forward = no
