Now I am getting confused by terminology. By "the transport-helper"
do you mean the remote helper (e.g., git-remote-svn) or
transport-helper.c?
By the "default" refspec do you mean the one specified in .git/config
or some default when none is specified there? "git fetch" updates
refs according to the specified fetch refspec in
builtin/fetch.c::store_updated_refs().

"grep FETCH_HEAD Documentation/*.txt" gives some hints. Most notably:
git-fetch(1)
------------
The ref names and their object names of fetched refs are stored
in ".git/FETCH_HEAD". This information is left for a later merge
operation done by 'git merge'.
gittutorial(7)
--------------
Alice can peek at what Bob did without merging first, using the "fetch"
command; this allows Alice to inspect what Bob did, using a special
symbol "FETCH_HEAD", in order to determine if he has anything worth
pulling, like this:
------------------------------------------------
alice$ git fetch /home/bob/myrepo master
alice$ git log -p HEAD..FETCH_HEAD
------------------------------------------------
Hope that helps,
Jonathan
