I'm *fully* in favor of the remote.<nick>.{url,fetch,push} entries
in the config file. I've pretty much switched every repository to
that format at this point.
In writing git-gui I'm finding it much, much easier to manage
things through repo-config than to do any mucking around in the
.git/remotes directory. Yes, the remote files have simple format,
but I can get everything in one "git repo-config --list" pull it
all into a Tcl array and work with it; using .git/remotes means I
have to open the file and read each line too. :-(
