I am below "novice" when it comes to git:

Warning: No merge candidate found because value of config option
"branch.master.merge" does not match any remote branch fetched.
No changes.
..
Is that "normal" ?
Yes.
Is that even the correct command to update my entire local existing copy
of Jeff's git tree?
No.
Generally I would use
cd $repo
git-checkout master # if not already there
git pull # fetches new objects, updates 'master'
git-fetch -f $URL upstream:upstream # fetch updated branch
git-fetch -f $URL mv-ncq:mv-ncq
git-fetch -f $URL upstream-fixes:upstream-fixes
git-fetch -f $URL upstream:upstream
... continue for each branch you like...
There is probably an easier way to get it to download all branches, even
if they have been rebased.
