Dear diary, on Sat, Nov 12, 2005 at 01:49:59AM CET, I got a letter
where Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> said that...

By the way, this is only a pathetic remnant of my brave effort to get
rid of seeing the "Getting alternates list" message on the same
repository 20 times now since the parallel fetching got introduced.
I know how to do silence the messages, but doing the _fetching_ itself
seems as downright stupid thing in the first place.

Therefore, can I somehow stall fetching of an object? The idea is:

	I want to check the alternates list!
	I don't have it yet...
	...but a request for it is already queued. Ok, I'll wait.
