Re: [RFC/PATCH 1/2] remote tracking: return the tracking branch for the given branches

From: Santi Béjar <hidden>

One thing it just occurred to me is to return the explicit refspec
instead of the tracking branch. So with the default config (after a
clone):

$ git remote tracking origin refs/heads/master
refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master

this makes a difference in case we want to allow returning all the
matching tracking branch and not the first one with more than one
branch, as:

$ git config remote.origin.fetch --add +refs/heads/*:refs/remote/another/*

$ git remote tracking origin refs/heads/master
refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
refs/heads/next:refs/remotes/origin/next

$ git remote tracking origin refs/heads/master refs/heads/next
refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/another/master
refs/heads/next:refs/remotes/origin/next
refs/heads/next:refs/remotes/another/next

Thoughts?
