FWIW, I'd go ahead and remove the SVN branches from remotes/* because
it'll limit confusion (incurred by the apparent duplication of bits) in
the future. Furthermore, tt's easy for current users to adapt and
consume the bits they want from heads/ anyway.

What do you mean by "limit" here, in practice?
I'd say just documenting that people should favor creating personal
branches would be a good start.
It's can be very handy for a group of people willing to hack together on
a feature to be able to setup a (non-personal) branch into which each
member of the group can commit. So limit you are talking about above
should be at least flexible enough to enable that, I guess.
