Neat Trick suggested by Miklos Vajna setups origin remote as '.' and also setups 3 refspecs for remotes.origin.fetch.

The trick is nice indeed, but in order to setup config multivar, one have to use explicit --add option for `git config' (*) or else old var value is just replaced.

The problem showed in svn-mirror repositories with stale master (was not updating from trunk) and also as lack of branches -- that's understandable -- we had '+refs/remotes/tags/*:refs/tags/*' config last, and tags were working OK.

Fix it.
(*) explicit --add was needed since 89c4afe0 (Add --add option to
    git-repo-config) in git.git, which dates to git v1.4.4.2-225-g89c4afe
