Here is what i get when i try to use git-fetch:

# git fetch ssh: : Name or service not known fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Following is the current content of my config file:

[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = true
[remote "origin"]
        url = ssh://gituser@<addr removed>
        fetch = +refs/*:refs/*
        mirror = yes

I also tried git-fetch with the url as argument but that also gave the same error. Do i need to do some additional configurations to make fetch work?

Thanks Yaser
