Does this need to be guarded with a recurse_submodules check, just like
in update_local_ref()?

Also, this warrants a comment - this is here because there is some code
later that requires the new submodule commits to be registered, and the
other branch does not require it only because update_local_ref() calls
it.

I think there should be a new test - we can tell from the code that just
because fetching to FETCH_HEAD works doesn't mean that fetching to a ref
works, and vice versa.

Also, can you make the test fetch 2 refs? So that we know that it works
with more than one.
