It's basically all online man pages. Why would people need to use "git remote set-head" most of the time? 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). -Peff
