When we need to fold an overlong line, it is easier to read if the
line is folded at an operator with higher precedence, i.e. this line

        if (A && (B || (C && D) || E))

folded like this

        if (A && (B || (C &&
                   D) ||
            E))

is harder to read than when folded like this

        if (A && (B ||
                  (C && D) ||
                   E))

So, it is an error if we have "remote" and if

 (1) URL for the remote is defined already twice or more; or
 (2) we are adding a nickname (i.e. not a URL) and it is different
     from what we already have; or
 (3) we already have fetch_refspec

The way I read the log message's rationale was that this is to allow
replacing an existing remote's URL; wouldn't checking the existence
of fetch_refspec go against that goal?

Puzzled.  Either the code is wrong or I am mislead by the
explanation in the log.
