git-fetch completed with connection error messages (using http), and subsequent operations to examine those remote branches gave me error messages of missing objects.

While re-run git-fetch doesn't looks to work, since git-fetch thought he has reached the most recent commit.

How can I force a re-retrieve of the missing objects??
