Subject: [RFC/PATCH 2/4] Teach the --multiple option to 'git fetch'

From: Björn Gustavsson <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:46:38 +0100

Add the --multiple option to specify that all arguments are either
groups or remotes. The primary reason for adding this option is
to allow us to re-implement 'git remote update' using fetch.
