Well, another would be that by keeping remote_name and making remote on-demand, we may still have to keep all the defined branches in core but we do not have to instanciate all the remotes, if each branch only knows the remote_name. A single look-up may be cheap but that is not a good reason to do one-per-each-branch if we do not need to. > It is much worse for pushremotes, which can come from > branch.*.pushremote, remote.pushdefault, branch.*.remote, or "origin". > > I'll try to re-word the commit message.
