I somehow thought Felipe wanted to say that there is nothing but manual pages that mention the command and, "look how useful set-head subcommand is, here is how you use it" blog posts are not seen because nobody uses 'remote set-head'. I do not quesiotn the frequency count of set-head, but I do not think the lack of mention of set-head leads to the conclusion that nobody uses "git log origin.."; there is a leap in logic. As you said below, "origin" is there without need for set-head, so the lack of enthusiastic advocate for set-head does not mean anything wrt how people find "origin" useful. > The > symlink is set up properly by git-clone, and has been for many years. > For most people, using "origin" just works (the exception is people who > "git init" and then "git remote add origin" themselves; since we're > guessing at numbers, I would guess that _that_ population is less than > 1% of users).
