I have no preference either way, and that is why I asked.

"git remote update" without explicit "default" is obviously what your code
try not to say "No such remote group" to, and that probably is a sane
thing to do.

I don't know what users want to see when they say "default" explicitly
without having an explicit configuration.  Should it do the same thing as
"git remote update"?
