The message shows up when multiple refspecs/branches are passed,
like

$ git fetch --set-upstream origin master next
From https://github.com/git/git
 * branch                  master     -> FETCH_HEAD
 * branch                  next       -> FETCH_HEAD
warning: multiple branch detected, incompatible with --set-upstream
