When a list of refspecs is passed to fetch (what git would consider
refspec passed on the command-line), we not only need to perform the
updates described in that refspec, but also update the remote-tracking
branch of the fetched remote heads according to the remote's configured
refspecs.

These "fetches" are not however to be written to FETCH_HEAD as they
would be duplicate data, and it's not what the user asked for.
