FWIW I am that msysgit boy.  And I did not say anything about git-fetch, 
but only about git-pull.  I even said that "-n" means "--no-summary" to 
git-pull.

That is such a low-hanging fruit.  Since you apparently use git yourself, 
there is not much left to learn in order to fix this bug.  IOW this is a 
perfect occasion to get just a little involved in the git development.

Just look at Documentation/diff-options.txt for an example how to use the 
"ifdef::" construct, and then use that construct in 
Documentation/fetch-options.txt.

Hth,
