Can't this be determined automagically by inspecting the arguments? I
believe there can be two unambiguous usages:

a) git fetch <repository> <refspec>...
b) git fetch <repository>...

If there is more than one argument, either:

a) arguments 2...N must be refpecs (i.e., each must contain a colon)
b) arguments 2...N must NOT be refspecs

"The format of a <refspec> parameter is an optional plus +, followed
by the source ref <src>, followed by a colon :, followed by the
destination ref <dst>."
