No. I've cleaned it up a bit, and codified the stuff we leave around.

I also changed "git fetch" to write FETCH_HEAD instead of MERGE_HEAD, because that's obviously what it is (it's perfectly fine to fetch things for other reasons, like just checking what somebody else has, and you might not ever intend to merge it anyway).
