Don't initialize statics to 0 (leave that to BSS).

This will use refspecs both from the command line and the standard
input by appending?  IOW, these refspecs that came from the standard
input are treated otherwise identically to those that came from the
command line?

I do not particularly care whether it is "append to command line" or
"replace command line", as I do not think it makes much difference
in usability.  Just wanted to be sure you coded the behaviour you
wanted.

Is that only because you happened to have implemented the reading in
fetch_one() that is designed to be called once per remote?  

You could read them here to a refspec for everybody, and then pass a
pointer to that refspec as the extra parameter to fetch_one(), and
fetch_one() can use that by duplicating and appending to its "rs",
if we wanted to, no?  I do not know how important to support such a
use case, though.  It just feels a bit of shame if this restriction
is purely imposed by the implementation, when lifting the refstiction
does not seem too involved.

Thanks.

Yes, except that I didn't plan to support the "tag foo" format. (My aim
with this is just to allow "git fetch" to take large numbers of
refspecs, because when we lazy fetch, the number of objects we fetch
might be large.)

Yes, and I only implemented the reading in fetch_one() because
fetch_multiple() does not read additional refspecs from the command-line
(it does not take "argv"). Looking at the code, this seems to be on
purpose - there is the error message "fetch --all does not make sense
with refspecs", and when --multiple is set, all args are assumed to be
remotes.

Yes, and I only implemented the reading in fetch_one() because
fetch_multiple() does not read additional refspecs from the command-line
(it does not take "argv"). Looking at the code, this seems to be on
purpose - there is the error message "fetch --all does not make sense
with refspecs", and when --multiple is set, all args are assumed to be
remotes.

OK, that does make sense.  so the multiple one is just a short-hand
for 

	for remote in ...
	do
		git fetch $remote
	done
