It's the scripted fetch that does not work. The symptom is that the output 
of at least one of the commands (upload-pack, I think, because what I see is 
wire protocol) goes to a newly spawned console instead of wherever it was 
redirected to.

I didn't bother reporting since builtin-fetch is on the way (which will 
hopefully make this a moot point) and our team here is comfortable with 
calling git fetch on the command line.
