You can use the shorthand $foo to refer to refs/remotes/$foo/HEAD. Which
means, in the default case, you can refer to just "origin" to talk about
origin's master branch.

But as Daniel noted, that is really about local preference for "what is
the most interesting branch on the remote". You might want to track what
the remote sets to HEAD, or you might want to set it individually.
