Anastas Dancha reported that it is not possible to add a remote when there is already a url.<url>.insteadOf = <nick> setting in $HOME/.gitconfig. While it makes sense to prevent surprises when a user adds a remote and it fetches from somewhere completely different, it makes less sense to prevent adding a remote when it is actually the same that was specified in the config. Therefore we add just another check that let's `git remote add` continue when the "existing" remote's URL is identical to the specified one.
