Yes, yes, yes. Y'all are absolutely correct. I shoulda added a test case
right away, to make sure not only that what I fixed does not get broken in
the future, but also to document *what* was fixed, exactly.

So, belatedly, here goes a patch that verifies what that commit was
supposed to fix, and yes, it passes with Thomas' changes (Junio, would you
please apply this on top of tg/git-remote?):

Subject: [PATCH] t5505: 'remote add x y' should work when url.y.insteadOf = x

This is the test missing from fb86e32 (git remote: allow adding
remotes agreeing with url.<...>.insteadOf, 2014-12-23): we should
allow adding a remote with the URL when it agrees with the
url.<...>.insteadOf setting.
