If the remote _is_ on disk (i.e., repo.is_local), `repo.importer.do_import(repo.gitdir)` will have directly updated the remote. For remotes that are not on disk (i.e., not repo.is_local), `repo.importer.do_import(repo.gitdir)` will have instead updated a on-disk clone of the remote, which is stored in .git/info/...
