Description

It seems that the remote property of a branch doesn't return a Remote object. As a consequence it is not possible to query its url property (if any). The only workaround I found was to get the RemoteCollection and filter it to find the remote with the same name as the branch remote_name property.

Research direction

Start by locating the branch.remote entry point and the Remote and RemoteCollection bindings. Compare the branch's remote_name with how RemoteCollection resolves remotes, then add a regression test showing that branch.remote exposes the matching Remote and its url property.
