Something like:

   git config remote.origin.fetch=refs/heads/master:refs/heads/origin
   git config remote.origin.fetch+=refs/heads/next:refs/heads/next
   git config remote.origin.fetch+=+refs/heads/pu:refs/heads/pu
   git config remote.origin.fetch+=refs/heads/maint:refs/heads/maint

sounds sensible.

However, my feeling is "git repo-config" is primarily for use by
scripts, and we are better off educating users not to be afraid
of viewing and editing .git/config file themselves.
