Basically, yes. We always write FETCH_HEAD, regardless of the refspec.
We choose "HEAD" if no other refspec was provided. So it is really more
like

   git fetch $remote HEAD

This is what makes one-off bare-url pulls work, like:

   git pull git://...

It runs fetch under the hood, which writes into FETCH_HEAD, and then we
merge that.

Actually FETCH_HEAD consists of multiple lines, one per ref...
but only top ref is merged.
