By default, this command now:
* Follows the peer if not already followed
* Syncs refs of the peer, if it wasn't followed before
* Fetches refs into working copy
This functionality can be disabled via `--no-sync` and `--no-fetch`.
It's actually not such a great idea to sync on git-fetch and
git-ls-remote, as syncing is supposed to happen in the background
already, and if you want to force a sync, you can just call `rad sync`.
Previously, it would be annoying that when you called `rad sync` and
then `git fetch`, it would still attempt another sync, for example.
Moving forwards, it might make sense to call `git-fetch` on `rad sync`
(so the other way around), because `git-fetch` is free (it doesn't talk
to peers), and you almost always want your working copy up to date with
your storage.
In some cases, there's a chance for the patch to not have arrived
before trying to check it out in the `alice` repo.
Ensure that the patch is present by first running `rad sync -f`.

The call to `rad sync -a` can end up with different output if the `git
push` has already announced to the network -- ending up with the nodes
already be in sync.
Instead, for consistency, leave the syncing up to the `git push` and
remove the call to `rad sync`.
