I've just taken a look at this and I'm left wondering why one would want
to skip prefetching from a remote but still fetch from it with "git
fetch --all". I set remote.<remote>.skipFetchAll for the remotes I don't
want to prefetch. We also have remote.<remote>.skipDefaultUpdate I don't
know offhand if that prevents a remote from being prefetched as well.
I think being able to specify which refs are prefectched would be
useful. Overloading remote.<remote>.prefetch to be a boolean or a
refspec would complicate the implementation so maybe we'd be better just
supporting refspecs and update the maintenance documentation to point
users to the existing config for skipping prefetches.
Best Wishes
