Proposal:

Running "git fetch origin master" only updates FETCH_HEAD, not
origin/master, which turns out to be quite confusing for newcomers
especially after running 'git pull origin master'.

Since the remote branches in some sense reflect the "last known state"
of the remote, it would make sense to also update them to whatever a
two-argument fetch got.


If this is proposing to break:

	get-fetch ${REPO} ${SRC_REF}:${DST_REF}

then I am against this since that form _is_ used and *is* plumbing.
