I'd rather do it the other way around ("--fetch" switch) and if that wasn't supplied, tell the user that he should now run

	git fetch $whatever_name_was_supplied

The reason being it's easier to fetch afterwards than it is to undo the fetch if you didn't mean to do it straight away. Judging by its other uses, I also wouldn't expect the command to actually work over the network.
