Subject: [PATCH] Fix handling of not_for_merge '.' flag in refspec.
Message-ID: <11280379894186-git-send-email-tom.prince@ualberta.net>

canon_refs_list_for_fetch did not know about '.', so it mangled any
reference with it. Further, it added '.' to any refspec on the command
line other than the first.

Signed-off-by: Tom Prince <tom.prince@ualberta.net>
