Apologies for being slightly imprecise.  Yes, "git fetch origin 3.5"
actually fetches the remote changes, but it doesn't update the local
"3.5" branch with those changes, so when I do "git diff 3.5" from
another branch, I get spurious changes in the diff.

(perhaps I should do "git diff origin/3.5" instead?)

Antoine.
