Teach "git fetch" a command line option "--[no-]write-fetch-head" and "fetch.writeFetchHEAD" configuration variable. Without either, the default is to write FETCH_HEAD, and the usual rule that the command line option defeats configured default applies. Note that under "--dry-run" mode, FETCH_HEAD is never written; otherwise you'd see list of objects in the file that you do not actually have. Also note that this option is explicitly passed when "git pull" internally invokes "git fetch", so that those who configured their "git fetch" not to write FETCH_HEAD would not be able to break the cooperation between these two commands. "git pull" must see what "git fetch" got recorded in FETCH_HEAD to work correctly. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- Junio C Hamano writes: > Johannes Sixt writes: > >> Nah, really???

Something like this, perhaps. Obviously I won't be pushing this topic further while in prerelase freeze, but Konstantin or anybody else interested can locally apply the patch to their own copy of Git to test it out.
