Add explanatory comment for transport-helpers refs mapping.
The patch below adds a comment to fetch_with_import() explaining the
loop that saves the fetched commit names after 'git fast-import' has
done its work. It avoids some confusion about which refs the
fast-import stream is supposed to use to write its result.
