Yeah, I think the useless "explicit" was a mistake back when the
function was added. See the patch below.

We do look at it, but it's pointless to do so:
$ git grep -hn -C4 remote_ref_for_branch origin:ref-filter.c
1461- } else if (atom->u.remote_ref.option == RR_REMOTE_REF) {
1462- int explicit;
1463- const char *merge;
1464-
1465: merge = remote_ref_for_branch(branch, atom->u.remote_ref.push,
1466- &explicit);
1467- *s = xstrdup(explicit ? merge : "");
1468- } else
1469- BUG("unhandled RR_* enum");
I think we probably ought to do this as a preparatory patch in your
series.

Subject: remote: drop "explicit" parameter from remote_ref_for_branch()
Commit 9700fae5ee (for-each-ref: let upstream/push report the remote ref
name, 2017-11-07) added a remote_ref_for_branch() helper, which is
modeled after remote_for_branch(). This includes providing an "explicit"
out-parameter that tells the caller whether the remote was configured by
the user, or whether we picked a default name like "origin".
But unlike remote names, there's no default case for the remote branch
name. In any case where we don't set "explicit", we'd just an empty
string anyway. Let's instead return NULL in this case, letting us
simplify the function interface.
