not only from the three defined: heads, tags and remotes.

Noticed when I tried to fetch the references created by git-p4-import.bat: they are placed into separate namespace (refs/p4import/, to avoid showing them in git-branch output). As canon_refs_list_for_fetch always prepended refs/heads/ it was impossible, and annoying: it worked before. Normally, the p4import references are useless anywhere but in the directory managed by perforce, but in this special case the cloned directory was supposed to be a backup, including the p4import branch: it keeps information about where the imported perforce state came from.
