That's only writing into FETCH_HEAD whatever branch is marked as
HEAD in Linus' repository.  No local refs are being updated.

So this won't merge in the changes fetched above.


Why not setup that URL as a remote (git remote add linus ....)
Then you can do:

  $ git fetch linus
  $ git merge linus/master

or 

  $ git fetch linus
  $ git pull . linus/master

or 

  $ git pull linus master
