Hello,
The first patch is not that big a deal, but it's better if we're
freeing the refspecs, we might as well free all of them.
The second patch introduces expected failures for the features that
this series fixes.
The third patch changes prune_resf and get_stale_heads so the caller
has to decide which refspecs are the appropriate ones to use. For
example, running
git fetch --prune origin refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master
doesn't remove the other branches anymore. For a more interesting (and
believable) example, let's take
git fetch --prune origin refs/heads/b/*:refs/heads/b/*
because you want to prune the refs inside the b/ namespace
only. Currently git will delete all the refs that aren't under that
namespace. With the second patch applied, git won't remove any refs
outside the b/ namespace.
What is probably the most usual case is covered by the forth patch,
which pretends that a "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" refspec was given on
the command-line. That fixes the
git fetch --prune --tags origin
case. The non-tag refs are kept now.
Cheers,
cmn

fetch: free all the additional refspecs
t5510: add tests for fetch --prune
fetch: honor the user-provided refspecs when pruning refs
fetch: treat --tags like refs/tags/*:refs/tags/* when pruning
