fetch: default to passive mode?
I have a really strong urge to submit a PR to make fetch default to passive mode, instead of requiring a command-line switch ... In this day and age, with firewalls and NAT abound, it's a bit odd that such a change has not already been made. Am I missing something? Is there a reason we haven't done this yet?

Speaking of fetch features.. Are there any plans to make fetch use a http proxy for ftp requests like ftp does?
