If you fetch only based on URL, then git doesn't know the name of that url is 'origin', and thus can't possibly know that it's supposed to replace origin/master. BTW, the reason 'git fetch origin master' doesn't work is completely unrelated: in *that* case, that syntax means you want to fetch the branch named master, but you're going to do something specific to it, so it ends up being stored as FETCH_HEAD instead. Generally you don't want to use that syntax.
