From: Harald Nordgren <redacted>

Add a per-remote config variable, remote.<name>.fetchRefmap, that
provides the default value for --refmap the same way
remote.<name>.fetch already provides the default refspecs to fetch.

Unlike passing --refmap on the command line, which requires an
explicit refspec to go with it, configuring remote.<name>.fetchRefmap
on its own does not change what a refspec-less fetch does: it falls
back to the same defaults as a remote with no fetchRefmap at all.

When remote.<name>.fetch is also configured, it still decides what to
fetch, and the refmap maps what it fetches. This lets a remote name
only a few branches and store them all through one refmap:

    [remote "cabal"]
        fetch = master
        fetch = next
        fetch = seen
        fetchRefmap = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/cabal/*

Looking up the remote-tracking branch for a remote branch, as
@{upstream} and "git branch --track" do, falls back to the refmap when
remote.<name>.fetch has no match, so that these work for such
branches too. A branch excluded by a negative refspec in
remote.<name>.fetch stays excluded.
