I am sorry, I had to be more accurate in my wording. "git fetch" with no explicit refspecs fetches everything in. It is quite cumbersome to form a refspec for git-fetch operation if you are not logged in into the "source repo" machine. git-fetch does not have a --dry-run option to help discover all the branch/tag names on the source side needed for a meaningful refspec. "git-push -v --dry-run" allows one to experiment and see what branches/tags exist at the destination and form refspecs selectively. To the best of my knowledge, git-fetch does not provide such discovery tools.
