Ok, so it seems that git-fetch already can do almost all of this; at
least it seems that I'm far from being alone in not realizing it. :-)
With the refspec +refs/heads/*:refs/heads/* and git remote prune
(thanks, Shawn!), it seems that git-fetch can already do everything
git-mirror tries to do, except updating the HEAD, but especially with
the symref embedding in git-ls-remote that Junio proposed, even that
should be fixable easily, right?
