Why is this line needed? In this example, what is the relationship
of local "master" with the remote? I think it is enough to specify
the local upstream branch:
[branch "master"]
origin = "ko-master"
For the default pull action when on "master", we would have to look
up for remotes with a fetch line fetching into "ko-master", which
could be cumbersome. Besides, the fetch lines specify default actions
when fetching from a given remote, and there is no garantuee that we
want fetching into "ko-master" as any default action.
So we need
[branch "ko-master"]
tracksremote = "master of ko-private"
This also would specify that we are not allowed to commit on "ko-master".
If we do not want to have a local tracking branch at all, we would have
[branch "master"]
origin = "master of ko-private"
or
[branch "master"]
origin = "master of kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git.git"
For a default push action when on master, I would add
[branch "master"]
push = "master of ko-private"
or alternatively
[branch "master"]
push = "master of kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git.git"

These specifications more or less are independent from the above,
as it specifies the defaults when fetching/pushing to the specified remote.
