"git-remote exclude" can be used to prevent one or more unwanted remote 
branches from being tracked. After, for example,
    $ git-remote origin exclude man html
"git-fetch origin" will no longer fetch origin/man and origin/html.

That is not what your patch does.

It rewrites the "remote.$name.fetch" entries so that those branches are 
not _updated_, but they are _fetched_ nevertheless.

I meant to say "track", but somehow "fetch" got to my fingers. Old ages, perhaps.
You are right, "update" is _the_ word. Thanks.

But then, I don't really see _why_ you would want such a solution.
After all, you are more likely to be interested in _specific_ branches, rather 
than all branches _except_ a few.

For different situations, there are different paths to choose to reach that
ultimate "After All" (Zen? NO!). I offered one (little) path and expect to see
more of bigger ones. That's the _why_ (and/or, the _why_ not).
