That seems to be the case, yes.

I'd argue that the shortcut idea is inherently more flexible, as it can
emulate mappings, but not vice versa -- for instance, if my local branch
foo corresponds to more than one remote branch, .git/branches/* cannot
comprehend that idea.

That being said, I do like Junio's

idea. A lot.
