   The "remote" repository that is the source of a fetch or
pull operation.
   This parameter can be either a URL (see the section GIT URLS below)
   or the name of a remote (see the section REMOTES below).

You can run git fetch / git pull with a URL or a local path to a
repository, not only origin etc.

`git pull` is `git fetch + git merge / git rebase` in disguise, so we
should be ready if git will want to create a merge commit or do a
rebase automatically (and potentially create new commits with
`Committer` set to the current user). `git fetch` and `git clone`
alone, `git branch`, `git checkout` etc don't care about the email (as
of 2.14.1), even if `user.useConfigOnly` is set to `true`.

Which version of git do you use? Do you have user.useConfigOnly set to
true anywhere in the config files?
