* "git fetch --mirror" and fetch that uses other forms of refspec
42+
with wildcard used to attempt to update a symbolic ref that match
43+
the wildcard on the receiving end, which made little sense (the

real ref that is pointed at by the symbolic ref would be updated

anyway). Symbolic refs no longer are affected by such a fetch.
