It would be nice to define "gang remotes".  For example I want to
be able to have:

  `git fetch cs`  ==  `git fetch cs-one; git fetch cs-two`
  `git fetch jc`  ==  `git fetch origin; git fetch alt`

Why?  Well, I often have multiple remotes setup to the *same*
repository depending on the SSH hostname I want to use to access
that repository.  This has a lot to do with the way my firewalls
are setup and where I'm physically connected at any given time.

Yes, I really do have multiple remotes setup to the access the
same (remote) physical disk.  :)

Possible syntax:

	[remote "cs"]
		remote = cs-one
		remote = cs-two
	[remote "jc"]
		remote = origin
		remote = alt

Obviously this is more work than Ted's nice little patch.  :)
