Since I have your attention and since I am interested in a related issue
(when I wanted to propose a GSoC mini project to let `git fetch <remote>
@` expand the `@` to the current (local) branch name, Matthieu Moy
pointed out that `git fetch --current <remote>` might be a better UI):
what does your patch do with `git fetch`'s refspec arguments?

I haven't checked. I believe it would resolve "git fetch origin @" to
"git fetch origin HEAD" and "git fetch origin @:refs/heads/master" to
"git fetch origin HEAD:refs/heads/master".

That sounds like a sane behavior, as `@` on the "src" side of a refspec
that tries to fetch from a remote repository should probably not expand
to a _local_ branch.

I can add some additional tests for this case, although I'm not
especially sure that it provides useful behavior people will want.

Nah, from my side this is not necessary.

Ciao,
Dscho
