/* NOTE:
fetchgit has one problem: git fetch only works for refs.
This is because fetching arbitrary (maybe dangling) commits may be a security risk
This is because fetching arbitrary (maybe dangling) commits creates garbage collection risks

change in the future when some caching is added to git (?)
Usually refs are either tags (refs/tags/*) or branches (refs/heads/*)
