But that is a solved problem, isn't it?  What else does it
solve?  The justification for moving around the logic could be
something like "these three patches do not do that themselves,
but it opens a door for further work such as ...", but without
something concrete in "..." part, your response makes the patch
look mostly needless code churn.

I was hoping to hear something like "now git-fetch has to do
much less than before, eventual C-rewrite of the command, which
can borrow some code already written for 'pu' branch, will
become much easier" ;-).
