After consulting Mutt's manual and some googling I think I understand it now. I'm a subscriber to git list (and my Mutt knows that) and Mail-Followup-To told everyone's MUAs to not include me in recipient list since I get everything through the list. But this is configurable and generating Mail-Followup-To should be now turned off. > > Currently "git fetch " does not seem to do anything useful for > > non-git-hackers.

Thanks, and I agree. Me neither always want remote tracking. Git's current behaviour to only create/update FETCH_HEAD seems actually better - now that I know what it does. I think it's a good idea to show "[new branch] foo -> FETCH_HEAD" after fetching.
