Merge branch 'jk/fetch-follow-remote-head-fix'
"git fetch [<remote>]" with only the configured fetch refspec
should be the only thing to update refs/remotes/<remote>/HEAD,
but the code was overly eager to do so in other cases.
* jk/fetch-follow-remote-head-fix:
fetch: make set_head() call easier to read
fetch: don't ask for remote HEAD if followRemoteHEAD is "never"
fetch: only respect followRemoteHEAD with configured refspecs
