Unfortunately, you have to know what your remotes are outside of git for this. Perhaps a script in the root of your repository you can run to set this up after the initial clone? I seem to recall some discussion of allowing a .gitconfig to be in repositories (similar to .gitignore), but the idea was shot down for security reasons. > (As an aside, the above "git config --add" incantation causes problems if > run inside a clone of a clone: > > You did say "something similar" in your reply -- am I not seeing something > obvious? I said "something similar" because you probably actually want git config --add remote.$remote.fetch +refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/$remote/* (or other names of your own choosing) so that multiple remote remotes don't stomp on each other. Unless you want to be able to address the remotes by name, in which case you want "git remote add" instead (see above).
