That is,\nI'd expect something like:\n\n    Fetching from remote \"foo\"\n        URL: git://example.com/pub/foostuff.git\n        Remote branch: foo/main into remote/foo/main\n        Remote branch: foo/testing into remote/foo/testing\n    Merging:\n        Remote foo/main into local heads/master\n\nOr something down that line.  Basically parrot the\nconfig file plus command line effect back at the\nuser as a sanity check first.\n\nThanks,\njdl\n"}]}
