Some of them point to my colleagues laptops, where temporary git-daemons sometimes serve content, and sometimes it doesn't.
Again, you should probably have skipDefaultUpdate set on those remotes even now! A patch that makes a "wrong" (or incomplete) configuration more apparent, is not necessarily wrong in itself. (I was sort of expecting these objections -- the patches are designed to make the common use cases easier, and of course on this list you will find experts with less common scenarios).
In case it was not clear: it's not like the fetch command will *always* update all repositories. Only the zero-argument variation will.
How about renaming "skipDefaultUpdate" to "fetch.fetchAllRemotes" and let it default to false?
Renaming can be done (as a followup preferably, the patch series touches enough places like this). But not setting the default, as that would destroy the "base case" where "git fetch" just fetches from origin.
