Hi,

Yes, I lamented on that already.  But we cannot change that.  Too many 
users.

Almost.  "git fetch" does not store anything by default, so you have to do 
something like

	$ git config remote.origin.url ../private.git
	$ git config remote.origin.fetch 'refs/*:refs/*'
	$ git fetch

Eventually, I would like that to be available with

	$ git remote add --mirror fetch ../private.git

If nobody beats me to it, I'll do it later today.

Ciao,
