I do not see much reason for that kind of complication.
Honestly speaking, I do not like the fallback that we use for
the third one (using the remote tracking name).

When you are righting down your configuration file, you are
doing so to reuse that entry over and over, so why not be
explicit for once and not worry about cases where the remote
adds ambiguous 'two' that is not refs/heads/two?
