Users might change the behavior when running "git fetch" so that the remote's HEAD symbolic ref is updated at certain point. For example after running "git remote add" the remote HEAD is not set like it is with "git clone". Setting "fetch.updatehead = missing" would probably be a sensible default that everyone would want, but for now the default behavior is to never update HEAD, so there shouldn't be any functional changes. For the next major version of Git, we might want to change this default.
