I've tried:

Read the documentation and learn about <refspec> instead of blindly
guessing.
[remote "origin"]
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
fetch = +refs/replace/*:refs/replace/*
would be syntactically more correct. That would blindly fetch each
and every replace refs from the other side and apply the replacement.
It is questionable if it is a sensible thing to do, though.
"Git cabal" has been discussing a plan to make this easier but it is
not quite ready to outline here yet. Perhaps after I return from my
vacation post 1.8.0 release ;-)
