Thanks for pointing out this case.

The new code would still list this as two separate URLs because they
really are; whether they come from two config entries or from one being
subject to two different insteadof expansions is completely opaque to
builtin/remote.c, unless remote.c learns to stick that additional info
into struct remote somehow.

In short, the separate listing is correct, but in this case there's no
improvement in readability.

We could still say that (push)InsteadOf is a power feature and we want
to help the "normal" case, but it's a bit half-assed. In the end we
might even have to keep track of insteadof-expansions and display those
also (i.e. "expanded from...")?
