OK, having done the FETCH_HEAD thing, the idea is quite similar.
Instead of letting two invocations to store_updated_refs() to
independently open and close separate transactions, we control
everything centrally in do_fetch().

Makes sense.

OK.

Unlike the "expect the behaviour at the end of the series from the
beginning with known-to-fail tests" pattern I cautioned against in
an earlier step, this is a good way to show how the behaviour
changes.

Thanks.
