But that is a solved problem, isn't it?  What else does it
solve?  The justification for moving around the logic could be
something like "these three patches do not do that themselves,
but it opens a door for further work such as ...", but without
something concrete in "..." part, your response makes the patch
look mostly needless code churn.

I was hoping to hear something like "now git-fetch has to do
much less than before, eventual C-rewrite of the command, which
can borrow some code already written for 'pu' branch, will
become much easier" ;-).

What I said was an example.  I do not think your code churning
actually would make it easier.



What I said was an example of why having the two logic intermixed can
be problematic. Anyway, basically:

* It is a cleanup
* It makes the code cleaner
* It makes the code easier to maintain
* It makes the future changes easier
* It makes git-parse-remote and almost all git-fetch independent of
the merge logic
* The merge logic is in a few lines
* Do one thing and do it well

Santi
