As long as its consistent with "clone" I'll be happy, (I think as part
of a separate topic we need to fix the mappings in clone, see
--use-separate-remotes as default and related).

The current case is really annoying where I have to throw use clone
into a new repository just to get everything, rather than just being
able to fetch everything into the repository I already have.
