Helo I have a repository repo1 with four branches b_first, b_second, b/third, b/fourth. In a repository repo2 I put a remote config with: fetch = +refs/heads/b/*:refs/remotes/b/* and I expect a fetch to apply to both b/third and b/fourth. But fetch will also catch b_first and b_second even if they don't match the globing pattern. I give the full script to reproduce the bug.
