I find this scans better as "tracking branches", but consistent use of
jargon might trump that.  Maybe it could be reworded somehow?

	<2> clone sets these configuration variables by default.
	They arrange for `git pull` to fetch and store the branches

	refs.

Not sure.  remotes/origin/* are not branches for local development, so
calling them "branches" without a "remote-tracking" caveat can be
confusing.

The rest of the changes in this patch would have been caught by the
"perl -pi ..." command, except line wrapping got in the way.  They are
obviously good.
