Incidentally, somewhat related to this issue, I've noticed that if I
fetch a branch which I don't currently have in my repository, and I have
most of the commits on that branch in my object store (or in an
alternate repository) but not the most recent commit, git fetch isn't
smart enough to only grab the commits I'm actually missing, it wants to
fetch much more.
I would expect that since the clone pulled down everything in the
gcc.git repository, I could then do
git config remote.origin.fetch 'refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'
git fetch
and have all the branches, not just the ones in refs/heads. But when I
do this git fetch wants to fetch some 500k redundant objects.
