Using multiple remotes is a perfectly normal way in which you are
expected to interact with a single project with other participants.
Perhaps there is one single authoritative and canonical repository
where everybody initially clones from, and it is likely that that
repository is your "origin".  Often there are cases where another
participant has a topic that is not yet ready for the mainline but
is worth considering for early adopters and/or is solid enough for
other project participants to build their work on.  In such cases,
you can add the repository of that other participant as the second
remote and fetch from her.

It makes no sense if the two repositories hold histories of totally
unrelated projects, of course.
