Do not show duplicated remote branch information and reformat the output as:

$ git fetch -v   # the committish lines for the -v.
* refs/heads/origin: fast forward to remote branch 'master' of ../git/
  1ad7a06..bc1a580
  committish: bc1a580

I am not quite sure about this --- it is not obvious what these
two numbers represent anymore.  Also I think the last line
outlived its usefulness (99% of the time refs are committish, so
noting exception is good but otherwise it is not interesting).

I agree in the case of updating a ref, but I would keep it otherwise
(and even in this case only when -v is given).

I know you opted for minimum patch, but it might be a good time
to polish the wording a bit while we are touching the general
vicinity of the code.

How about saying something like:

 * refs/heads/origin: fast forward to remote branch 'master' of ../git/
   old..new = 1ad7a06..bc1a580

I like it.

* refs/heads/pu: does not fast forward to remote branch 'pu' of ../git/;
  7c733a8...5faa935
  not updating.
  forcing update.
  committish: 5faa935

This is even more confusing.  Perhaps we would want to have two
cases, depending on --force (and +).

Sorry, it was from two copy'n'paste. I did it in a new repository
(without the +), then it stoped at this point (I suppose to force the
user to solve the problem). Then I put the + and did the copy'n'paste
again without deleting this extra line.

 * refs/heads/pu: does not fast forward to remote branch 'pu' of ../git/;
   but forcing update anyway.  old...new = 7c733a8...5faa935

With the old...new in a new line?

So at the end, something like this output?

$ git fetch -v   # the committish lines for the -v.
* refs/heads/origin: fast forward to remote branch 'master' of ../git/
 old..new: 1ad7a06..bc1a580
* refs/heads/pu: does not fast forward to remote branch 'pu' of ../git/
 old...new: 7c733a8...5faa935
 forcing update.
* refs/heads/next: same as remote branch 'origin/next' of ../git/
 committish: ce47b9f
...
* refs/tags/v1.4.2-rc4: storing tag 'v1.4.2-rc4' of ../git/
 committish: 8c7a107

$ git fetch -v origin refs/heads/master
* committish: 695dffe
 branch 'master' of ../git/
