[RFC] git-fetch: Optionally store fetch information under a nick

This is on top of my .git/remotes/* -> .git/config patch. With this, you
can do:

	git pull -S junio git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git \
		master:junio todo:todo +pu:pu

once, and after that,

	git pull junio

will have the same effect.

	This was what git-repo-config was all about, but I backed off a
	little when I felt not much enthusiasm for remote information in
	the config.

	However, when I tried to get a CVS user to work *with* (as opposed
	to *on*) git, he told me that he was sick of editing files, and
	if there would be a more user friendly way to store the remote
	information. So, I whipped this up.
