Helo

I have a repository repo1 with four branches b_first, b_second,
b/third,  b/fourth.
In a repository repo2 I put a remote config with: fetch =
+refs/heads/b/*:refs/remotes/b/* and I expect a fetch to apply to both
b/third and  b/fourth.
But fetch will also catch b_first and b_second even if they don't
match the globing pattern.

I give the full script to reproduce the bug.
