Yeah, I was hiding away the `--quiet` flag here by accident. I used
`--prune` and `--dry-run` to trigger more lines to be printed to console
and to not take into account the time it takes to update local refs and
fetch objects. But doing so without these flags also demonstrates what I
want to:

    Benchmark 1: git fetch --quiet +refs/*:refs/* (pks-fetch-pack-optim-v1~)
      Time (mean ± σ):     96.078 s ±  0.508 s    [User: 91.378 s, System: 10.870 s]
      Range (min … max):   95.449 s … 96.760 s    5 runs

    Benchmark 2: git fetch --quiet +refs/*:refs/* (pks-fetch-pack-optim-v1)
      Time (mean ± σ):     88.214 s ±  0.192 s    [User: 83.274 s, System: 10.978 s]
      Range (min … max):   87.998 s … 88.446 s    5 runs

So again, I'll update the commit message.

Thanks for your feedback!
