From: Harald Nordgren <haraldnordgren@gmail.com>
When a fetch has no refspec to work from, we fall back to guessing what to fetch: the remote's configured fetch refspec if there is one, and separately, whether the current branch's upstream lives on this remote. The latter is independent of the former on purpose: a narrow refspec (for example from "git remote add -t") can leave the current branch's own upstream uncovered, and we still need to be able to fetch it.
That "does this branch build on this remote" check was inlined for just the current branch. Move it into its own function, collect_upstream_from_remote(), so the same logic can be reused for branches other than just the current one.
