What the patch does can be read from the code, but what benefit
would users get by the extra file?

It used to allow "git fetch $there" and let the configured
remote.$there.fetch refspec to decide what gets fetched, and also it
used to allow "git fetch $there $that_branch" to explicitly fetch
the named branch. But this change insists that the user has to give
what gets fetched from the command line and forbids the user from
giving where to fetch from, it seems. Isn't it a regression? Why
is it a good idea to forbid such uses that the script used to
accept?
The proposed log message does not explain why it is not a
regression, or why accepting some use patterns that the script used
to allow was a bug that needs to be diagnosed with this new
conditional.

Why are these variable references outside the dq pair?
