If you have a repo with lots of remotes and tracking branches, it makes a lot of sense to have a local branch reponame/branchname which tracks the remote branch reponame/branchname. Note that the first is refs/heads/reponame/branchname whereas the latter is refs/remotes/reponame/branchname. It gives warnings when it's ambiguous, yay.
