This is a fork of [GitHub's fetch polyfill](https://github.com/github/fetch). Its purpose is to get [the fetch polyfill used in React Native](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/Libraries/Network/fetch.js) closer to the `whatwg` spec without worrying about breaking older browser versions.
