Nah, really??? It's one of the benefits of git-fetch that it writes FETCH_HEAD and the primary reason in many cases where I use the command! So, either I don't care that FETCH_HEAD is written, or I do use it. IMO, not wanting to write FETCH_HEAD is the odd case and would need a configuration tweak, not the other way round.
