Thanks for the hint.

Yes, "git ls-remote" is retrieving remote.<remote>.uploadpack when
dest is a configured remote.  However, git-request-pull runs ls-remote
after converting its URL argument from remote.<remote>.url

The following works with v1.6.4-rc3-12-gdf73af5

If you wish, I'll submit an alternative patch.
