Eh, that doesn't mesh well with git's verbiage. I don't really care if all someone does is fetch my code from my repository. What I am actually asking for is someone to fetch and integrate my code into their tree. This is done with pull usually. Other terms I can accept: merge request, patch request, patch review, and branch review. I don't think 'fetch' really works here though.

So, if I ask you to fetch my (not ready yet) code you will do it just to waste bandwidth?
