Subject: [PATCH] fetch: get the remote branches to merge from the branch
 properties
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

If in branch "foo" and this in config:

[branch "foo"]
      merge=bar

"git fetch": fetch from the default repository and program the "bar"
             branch to be merged with pull.
