Comment (by eschnett):
This begins to become quite complex. First, there is the option to pull multiple branches into the same local repository, and then there is the option to pull the same branch into multiple local repositories. I don't think we need both.
What about just pulling all remote branches into the local repository? This should work well for all the repositories we use, and if and when there is a problem with this, we can think about remedying it, but we should not begin to design something around a problem that doesn't exist for us. That means there is a single local repository, and people can quickly switch (using git checkout). We would not have to handle lists of branches.
