What's the difference between 'git fetch' and 'git fetch --all'

It seems to make no difference for the repo I'm working with, and the man page is not very helpful.

git fetch --all makes a difference if you have multiple remotes. Most of the time you have only "origin", but you can add any number of remotes.

git clone ssh://example.com/git/repo/first-repo
git remote add my-other-remote ssh://example.com/git/repo/another

git fetch will fetch from "first-repo", where git fetch --all will fetch from "first-repo" and "another"
