Indeed. There was already a bug fixed that fetch was including passwords 
in the message, but the URL of a network repo which is not publicly 
accessible might be considered sensitive information.

Perhaps. Regular pull makes no record of where the changesets were 
obtained from, so I don't see any compelling reason why fetch should either.

I don't follow this suggestion. Author of which revision? It is common 
(in my experience at least) to fetch dozens of revisions from various 
people, and this information is of little or no interest.
