This was actually reverted in 756373da by Junio. We no longer
support merging the right hand side of a fetchspec in a branch's
branch.$name.merge configuration setting as we interpret these
names as being only those published by the remote we are going to
fetch from.
The older shell based implementation of git-fetch did not report an
error when branch.$name.merge was referencing a branch that does
not exist on the remote and we are running `git fetch` for the
current branch. The new builtin-fetch does notice this failure
and aborts the fetch, thus breaking the tests.
Junio and I kicked it around on #git earlier today and decided that
the best approach here is to error out and tell the user that their
configuration is wrong, as this is likely more user friendly than
silently ignoring the user's request. Since the new builtin-fetch
is already issuing the error there is no code change required, we
just need to remove the bad configuration from our test.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
