This is "fetch --all" case. I think the original intent was to
fetch all branches (hence exclusion of tags) so the prefixcmp() may
not be correct (!prefixcmp() with "refs/heads" would be more kosher)
these days. I am not sure what !args.depth check wants to do here
(that is, I can see it wants to defeat "fetch --all" and instead
make it go through the usual refspec matching codepath, but I do not
know why we thought that is a good thing to do here).
