I have an alternative in my private repository: When git-pull/git-fetch are called with "-S <nick>", then the current URL is set as URL for that shorthand, and the rest is *added* as Pull line. However, this all depends on my (rejected) patch to move the remotes information into the config file. I have not backported the "-S" feature to the non-config remotes, since I 1) do not need it myself, and 2) am wary that it is not that easy to ensure data integrity by shell-scripting.
