Unnecessary fetch warning

From: Shawn Pearce <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-11 19:17:26

Current 'next':

  $ git fetch
  Warning: No merge candidate found because value of config option
           "branch.sp/username-reflog.merge" does not match any remote branch fetched.

uhhh.. i asked for a fetch, not a merge.

I have no branch.*.merge or branch.*.remote in my .git/config,
and I only use the remote.*.url/remote.*.fetch format for my
remote configs.

Commit 62b339a5 added the warning, and its intended for pull, but
it is tripping during fetch too.

What about removing this warning from fetch, letting it mark
everything as `not-for-merge` and let pull trigger the warning
instead?

[PATCH] Move "no merge candidate" warning into git-pull

From: Josef Weidendorfer <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-11 19:29:13

The warning triggered even when running "git fetch" only
when resulting .git/FETCH_HEAD only contained
branches marked as 'not-for-merge'.

Oops.
I hope this does it right. Testing by the same person which does the patch
is obviously almost the same as not testing at all.
