We often have a name such as 'origin' available; use it if so rather
than showing the raw URL.

The old output:
$ git fetch -v
From git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git
= [up to date] html -> origin/html
...
Versus the new output:
$ ./git fetch -v
From origin
= [up to date] html -> origin/html
...
Alternatively, we could do something like
From origin (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git)
but no other command seems to do such a thing. Note that a fetch with a direct
URL rather than a name will still show the URL as before.
Another RFC in this is the behavior of `git ls-remote`- it also shows a URL
when we may have a nice name available, so I can resubmit with that modified as
well if people agree with the change. The difference is porcelain vs plumbing.
