The way this question is posed is quite unfair to Pasky -- it
makes him look needlessly bad.

The simple reason is because Cogito had its own richer
fetch/pull first.  The development of git aware pack transfer
protocols by Linus and the list discussion for multi-head pushes
and pulls came much later, which resulted in the current 'git
fetch/pull' interface.
