I fully agree here, but is there a way for the user to do so?
Especially the beginning user? Perhaps in the form of a -v(erbose)
switch, but for that to be useful it would have to be present across
most/all commands and have the same (type of) result. That is, it
should provide the user with additional information on what they did
wrong/what they likely want to do from here.
In this case though I agree that, as Teemu pointed out, 'git remote
add' is a config tool. 'man git remote add' points this out more than
clearly enough for regular use. Maybe keep it in mind for the to-be
"git mind reading" functionality.

Cheers,
