As long as the rule is that for_each_remote will enumerate every remote 
that has anything defined at all, even if only in the global config 
outside of a user's control, I'm not really sure how to tell whether the 
missing url / pushurl / whatever is intentional, or a misconfiguration, 
so having the code complain that it didn't find what it wanted (the 
current condition) is probably no worse than the alternatives. Patch 
withdrawn.
