Replace non-existent `branch.<name>.fetch` to `remote.<repository>.fetch`, in the first example in `git-fetch` doc, which was introduced in d504f69 (modernize fetch/merge/pull examples, 2009-10-21).

Rename placeholder `<name>` to `<repository>`, to be consistent with all other uses in git docs, except that `git-config.txt` uses `remote.<name>.fetch` in its "Variables" section.

Also add missing monospace markups.
