Just to make sure I understand the issue, the problem is that: git config --global remote.foo.url whatever git fetch --multiple foo bar would not work without this part of the patch? I'm trying to figure out why "fetch --multiple" wouldn't just take a url in the first place. I guess it is because multiple fetch is useless without refspecs (since otherwise you're just writing to FETCH_HEAD, which gets immediately overwritten). I wonder if that test really should be: diff --git a/builtin/fetch.c b/builtin/fetch.c index c85f3471d..9024cfffa 100644 --- a/builtin/fetch.c +++ b/builtin/fetch.c @@ -1014,9 +1014,9 @@ static int add_remote_or_group(const char *name, struct string_list *list) git_config(get_remote_group, &g); if (list->nr == prev_nr) { struct remote *remote; - if (!remote_is_configured(name)) - return 0; remote = remote_get(name); + if (!remote->fetch_refspec_nr) + return 0; string_list_append(list, remote->name); } return 1; It's outside the scope of your patches, so I think we are OK to just ignore it. But if you want to pursue it, it avoids having to add the extra parameter to remote_is_configured(). > Many thanks to Jeff King whose tireless review helped with settling for > nothing less than the current strategy.
