transport-helpers can advertise the 'refspec' capability, if not a default refspec *:* is assumed. This explains the post-processing of refs after fetching with fast-import. Signed-off-by: Florian Achleitner <redacted>The patch below adds a comment to fetch_with_import() explaining the loop that saves the fetched commit names after 'git fast-import' has done its work. It avoids some confusion that Florian encountered on first reading about which refs the fast-import stream is supposed to use to write its result.
(By the way, I guess I find the above paragraph clearer than Florian's commit message. But aside from that, the patch seems good to me.) I would like to see the patch applied so the remote-svn series without it gets shorter and easier to review.
Sounds pretty safe, and as long as mentors and stakeholders in the area are happy with what the comment says, I see no issue applying it now. Is it understood by all parties that Florian may need to rebase the series on top of it?
