Yes, I didn't mean to suggest aborting the fetch. I just wanted to make sure we _react_ correctly to a failing call to read a symref, possibly because the refs/remotes/$there/HEAD (1) does not exist, or (2) is not a symbolic ref but signals that the other side has its HEAD detached. Treating any failure to read a symref as if the symref does not exist would miss the latter case. Thanks.
