The syntax was slightly off; I got an error from a push. When I
corrected it I learned that git doesn't allow "." in the name of a
config variable. So, if we want to do this we'll have to modify the
"update" script directly; either by adding the branch names there or by
changing the config variable syntax. I don't have time to do this right
now, sorry. In the meantime I've reverted to the status quo ante,
seeing no other choice.
