It is additional to what fetch prints. To make it clearer, I have
removed all mentions of "additional" from the commit message. But right
now I'm not sure if that whole section is important (since what happens
can be deduced quite easily by reading the fewer than 10 lines of code).

Hmph, perhaps.  It was lot easier to follow, at least to me, though ;-)

If you mean a recommendation to the repository administrator, I guess we
can recommend that their HEAD points to something, even if it's just a
single orphan commit with a .txt file explaining what's going on.

Yeah, that might make sense, too.
