[PATCH v2] fetch: don't try to update unfetched tracking refs

Since commit f269048 (fetch: opportunistically update tracking refs,
2013-05-11) we update tracking refs opportunistically when fetching
remote branches.  However, if there is a configured non-pattern refspec
that does not match any of the refspecs given on the command line then a
fatal error occurs.

Fix this by setting the "missing_ok" flag when calling get_fetch_map.

I'm not sure I understand what the last sentence means. I tried to add a
test like:

but it does not fail with the existing code. Can you give an example
that fails?

I have this in my .git/config for git.git:

    [remote "origin"]
            url = git://github.com/gitster/git
            fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
            fetch = +refs/notes/amlog:refs/notes/amlog

Ah, I see. It is not "the refspec on the command-line does not match a
configured refspec", but rather "there exists a configured non-pattern
refspec that does not match what was on the command-line (even if what
was on the command-line did match another refspec)".

Exactly.  I've changed the commit message to (hopefully) make this
clearer.

So your fix makes perfect sense. Do you mind squashing in this test
below? I think it is a little less subtle than what you posted, as it
sets up the situation explicitly in the test. It also checks that the
refs we _did_ match still get updated ("master" in this case).

Done.
