Did you originally clone with an earlier version of git?

They changed the default setup of a newly cloned repository somewhere
between 1.4 and 1.5.  It used to create a branch for each branch in the
upstream repository, plus an "origin" branch which was a copy of the
master (actually, I think, the HEAD) of the remote repository.

The new layout is a lot easier to work with, in my opinion....
