From: Harald Nordgren <haraldnordgren@gmail.com>
Add a per-remote config variable, remote.<name>.refmap, that provides the default value for --refmap the same way remote.<name>.fetch already provides the default refspecs to fetch. Like --refmap itself, it only maps refs that are actually being fetched, so it has nothing to do when there is nothing explicit to fetch, on the command line or via remote.<name>.fetch.
A refspec-less fetch with a refmap configured but nothing else to say what to fetch falls back to the same defaults as a remote with no refspec or refmap at all. Only an explicit --refmap given on the command line with no command-line refspec to go with it is still rejected, since that combination is a plain mistake to type, unlike a remote.<name>.refmap configured on its own. A remote.<name>.fetch that is also configured is used as before.
