I said I wouldn't mind, I didn't vote for it.

For "set url --add --push" on top of a push url only being defaulted
from a fetch url, both behaviours (replace or add, i.e. current or new)
make sense to me. So the questions are:

- Is it worth and possible changing?
- How to best describe it in "remote -v" and "remote show" output?

My patch answered to "no" to the first question and answers the second
one in cases where (push)insteadof is not used to transform one fetch
config into two different urls for fetch and push. I think :)
