OK, so we get rid of all "fetch" refspec elements and make sure we
can ...

> +		git remote set-branches scratch topic &&

... set a single new one like this ...

> +		git config --get-all remote.scratch.fetch \
> +					>../actual.replace-missing

and we expect the mapping to appear in the output.  For
maintainability, it would be better to also sort this one to mimick
the other one that contain multiple entries in the output, but
because we expect only one entry to be in the output, not sorting is
OK for now.

Looks good.  Thanks.

Also, the redirect typically comes before the heredoc marker.

I wonder whether we'd rather wnat to wire this up in a new test instead
of altering an existing one.

It is a minor point, but would it help to say what we tried to
remove (e.g. "from remote X") or is it too obvious to the end user
in the context they get this error?

The reason why I had the above question was because inserting error()
before strbuf_release(&key) looked curious and I initially suspected
that it was because key was used in the error message somehow, but it
turns out that is not the case at all.

IOW, I would have expected something more like this:

 	if (!add_mode && remove_all_fetch_refspecs(key.buf)) {
 		strbuf_release(&key);
+		return error(_("failed to remove fetch refspec from '%s'"),
+				remotename);

 	}

I don't think we want to return the error code from `error()`, do we?
`set_branches()` is wired up as a subcommand, so we'd ultimately do
`exit(-1)` instead of `exit(1)` if we returned the `error()` code here.

Hmph, I thought there was somebody doing !! to canonicalize the
return value to exit status in the call chain.

	... goes and looks again ...

After finding the subcommand in fn, cmd_remote() ends with

	if (fn) {
		return !!fn(argc, argv, prefix);
	} else {
		...
		return !!show_all();
	}

Ah, never mind in that case. I didn't look far enough indeed. Thanks for
correcting my claim!

The user has to give the remote name on the command line so I think it should be obvious to the user.

Arguably we should refactor this to use our standard "goto cleanup" pattern.

That makes sense.  Thanks.
