Revert "Check for existence of refs upon initial fetch"
This reverts commit 565480588d2bff4205b437862505e77382189811.
We are reverting this change for 2 reasons:
1) It introduced a bug for users using sync -c with a reference mirror.
2) The fetch specs have recently changed to cause git to properly fail
when we request a non-existent branch of a manifest, removing the need
for this change.
