Right. My original complaint was only that "--fetch" is not as
orthogonal to "--push" (and an optionless set-url) as it could be. I
think the alternatives for going forward are basically:
1. Name it something besides --fetch (but that's rather clunky).
2. Migrate to new behavior, which is what is being discussed here.
Probably needs a transition period?
3. Live with it. Probably address the weirdness in the documentation.
4. Do nothing, drop the patch.
I think I'd be OK with (3), with an appropriate documentation update.
