Hi Junio,

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?
