If you were to do this, I think you should drop the "remote add
origin" step and illustrate what configuration variables should be
prepared (at least minimally---the final implementation of "git
clone --separate-remote-layout" may add some other configuration
variable as a hint to say "this remote is using the new layout" or
somesuch) in this "client" repository.

That would make the test more self documenting.

I am not convinced that it is a good idea to reuse "remotes/origin"
hierarchy which traditionally has been branches-only like this,
though.  It may be better to use

        refs/$remotes_new_layout/origin/{heads,tags,...}/*

for a value of $remotes_new_layout that is different from "remote",
and teach the dwim_ref() machinery to pay attention to it, to avoid
confusion.  Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to tell between a topic
branch that works on tags named "tags/refactor" under the old layout,
and a tag that marks a good point in a refactoring effort "refactor"
under the new layout.
