[PATCH 3/3] fetch --all/--multiple: keep all the fetched branch information

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:48:21

Since "git fetch" learned "--all" and "--multiple" options, it has become
tempting for users to say "git pull --all".  Even though it may fetch from
remotes that do not need to be fetched from for merging with the current
branch, it is handy.

"git fetch" however clears the list of fetched branches every time it
contacts a different remote.  Unless the current branch is configured to
merge with a branch from a remote that happens to be the last in the list
of remotes that are contacted, "git pull" that fetches from multiple
remotes will not be able to find the branch it should be merging with.

Make "fetch" clear FETCH_HEAD (unless --append is given) and then append
the list of branches fetched to it (even when --apend is not given).  That
way, "pull" will be able to find the data for the branch being merged in
FETCH_HEAD no matter where the remote appears in the list of remotes to be
contacted by "git fetch".

 * This obviously builds on top of the earlier two clean-up patches.

Patch 3 does not apply correctly:

Applying: fetch --all/--multiple: keep all the fetched branch information
error: patch failed: t/t5521-pull-options.sh:72
error: t/t5521-pull-options.sh: patch does not apply
Patch failed at 0001 fetch --all/--multiple: keep all the fetched
branch information
When you have resolved this problem run "git am --resolved".
If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git am --skip".
To restore the original branch and stop patching run "git am --abort".
