Subject: [PATCH] fetch: do not look for submodule changes in unchanged refs

From: "Orgad Shaneh via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>

This operation is very expensive, as it scans all the refs using
setup_revisions, which resolves each ref, including checking if it
is ambiguous, or if it is a file name etc.

There is no reason to do all that for refs that haven't changed in this
fetch.

Amends commit be76c2128234d94b47f7087152ee55d08bb65d88.
