Hi all,

(originally posted on stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/q/75040372)

Git configuration `branch.<name>.fetch` is mentioned in the first
`git-fetch` example [1]:

> - Update the remote-tracking branches:
>       $ git fetch origin
>   The above command copies all branches from the remote refs/heads/ namespace and stores them to the local refs/remotes/origin/ namespace, unless the branch..fetch option is used to specify a non-default refspec.

But I can't find its doc in `git-config`'s doc. Did
`branch.<name>.fetch` ever exist?

Searching in `git-config`'s doc for configs starting with `branch.` or
ending with `.fetch`, it seems `branch.<name>.fetch` is a typo of
`remote.<name>.fetch`.

PS: That `git-fetch` example was added in commit d504f69 in 2009. [3]
