Wah. I've been going back and forth with this, but I'm now leaning
towards reverting cad37e1910f9 ("dim: auto-add remotes") and going back
to the drawing board with it.

The problem is, url_to_remote, repo_to_remote and friends are low-level
helpers in the script. That kind of things are better off returning
true/false status instead of going out of their way to interactively fix
stuff up. The *caller*, where applicable, should auto-add remotes,
depending on the case.

I hit the problem first on one machine which doesn't use worktrees. I
conceded we could make worktrees a requirement. However, I have a strict
separation between maintainer and developer repos, with no push access
at all to the remotes from the developer repo. I have no desire to give
up on that safety measure. However, dim is helpful in the developer repo
too.

Also, there's been requests to move dim more towards working in the CWD
instead of cd to predefined repo. I'm not sure it's reasonable to
require that all of them have all of the remotes available, for no
particularly good reason. With worktrees the remotes are shared, but if
you don't use a common tree for all of them, that benefit is lost.

BR,
Jani.
