Completely untested, but this may fix it.

I suspect this has an side effect of allowing

	fetch = refs/heads/*

to mean the same thing as

	fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*

which is suitable for a bare mirroring repository, but I do not
think of any downside, so it might be Ok.

But that is something from a person who was under anesthesia a
few hours ago, so you should take it with a big grain of salt ;-)
