The problem is that I didn't want to call git-ls-remote in git-parse-remote, 
as git-parse-remote doesn't know about $uploadpack or what the actual remote 
in use is.  It seemed fairly intrusive to completely alter the functions in 
git-parse-remote; which is obviously a set of library functions.

Instead I did the expansion in git-fetch.sh.  Unfortunately that meant 
disabling the check-ref-format call in canon_refs_list_for_fetch.

I understand now.  I'll look again at this tonight and send a further patch.
