I fetched remote repository, and the reference to it stored in FETCH_HEAD, it has some content

cat .git/FETCH_HEAD     
# => d11f8ef4a4735a4193633ed2fed90e441d9ce0f8 branch 'hotfix' of xxx

But git-fetch shows nothing

git show-ref FETCH_HEAD 
# => nothing

Why? And how to get SHA of last commit from FETCH_HEAD?

    Use rev-parse instead of show-ref:

    git rev-parse FETCH_HEAD
