Subject: What is the default refspec for fetch?
Message-ID: <CAENte7inZ5fm2SzNPq=HNPKnPco9tM4T_es5Dphnpbia-uiLdg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

In a repo where no remote.<name>.fetch config parameter is set what
should a "git fetch" do? My experiments let me think it's
"HEAD:FETCH_HEAD". Right?

I came to this question after finding out that when I clone repos in
bare mode then they don't have and explicit remote.<name>.fetch in
their config. But a "git fetch" sometimes updated "something".

Ciao
