This contradicts the git-fetch manpage though: from urls-remotes.txt,
it includes
The name of one of the following can be used instead
of a URL as `<repository>` argument:
* a remote in the git configuration file: `$GIT_DIR/config`,
* a file in the `$GIT_DIR/remotes` directory, or
* a file in the `$GIT_DIR/branches` directory.
(and a longer explanation of what they need to look like).
So which one is wrong?
