Yes, disagreement is healthy.  My point is that we should have "sane"
defaults, and fine-grained configurability so that uses who disagree
can maintain their own configs.  In this case, respecting a
branch.*.remote for each branch is more fine-grained, while not doing
so is coarse and makes me unhappy.  Then again, we don't have to go
overboard and design another ten configuration variables, but we can
atleast improve on what we already have without breaking consistency
(but we have to minimally break backward compatibility).
