Ah, that makes sense. I do think the "<sha1> <sha1>" syntax is a bit weird, and I think mostly because the pure-object fetch came much later in git's life; at this point hardly anybody uses a manual fetch-pack. It would probably make sense to "<sha1>" to set up the ref correctly. > > I double-checked that the code for git-fetch does so.
