I think its OK to look at *your* .git/config to see what is
configured for the remotes, (e.g. git config remote.origin.url)
but it is NOT OK to look at the *remote*'s .git/config to see what
they have configured.

Why?  Their configuration is their configuration.  Who knows what
they have stored there.  Look at the recent cvsserver config options,
there's now a lot of information about the SQL database that backs
cvsserver.  That stuff shouldn't be public.

If you want to publish something for a client to fetch, it should
be done by publishing a Git object referenced by a proper ref:
blob, tree, commit, tag, take your pick.
