Action: "fetches" named heads or tags from one or more other repositories, along with the objects necessary to complete them.
"Fetch" is a bit of a misnomer, as it doesn't actually retrieve (download) any files but instead creates a "pointer" file (.git/FETCH_HEAD) to any items in need of retrieval. These can then be operated on by merge.
