Hmph. If you really want something like that, I think you could add a hook support for git-fetch to implement this as automatically created lightweight tags, stashed in $GIT_DIR/fetch-history/, deriving their names from the time of the fetch; clone would grab everything below refs/ but this is deliberately placed outside that hierarchy and won't get copied. By definition, these point at commits reachable from some of your heads (unless the remote repository maintainer is stupid enough to rewind public trees ;-), so fsck-object would not see them but it should not be a problem.
