Really? I had imagined it was to prevent accidental checking out of an
upstream-tracking branch. Also; I don't think "not cluttering the namespace"
is the same as "not showing multiple namespaces". The local namespace
remains as uncluttered as it ever was. This is a question of what to
display.
Assuming my "mixed mode" display thing were in place, doesn't that make the
two choices of UI
1)
git-branch : show local branches
git-branch --all : show local and remote branches
git-branch -r : show remote branches
2)
git-branch : show local and remote branches
git-branch --local : show local branches
git-branch -r : show remote branches
In case 2) the switch is simply selecting a filter, and so fits in with
the "-r" better.
