Hello,
I think I've found a bug in "git remote add". I tried the following:
$ git remote add -f spearce2 http://repo.or.cz/git/spearce.git
Cannot get the repository state from http://repo.or.cz/git/spearce.git
fetch spearce2: command returned error: 1
Obviously I used the wrong URI. Then I tried again:
$ git remote add -f spearce2 http://repo.or.cz/r/git/spearce.git
remote spearce2 already exists.
I think Git should not store the bad info and block the name when the
first call wasn't successfull.
Regards
Guido

The problem there is of course that the fetch could fail because you are
offline. In that case, you do not want git remote to throw the
information away.
BTW you missed the trailing slash in the HTTP URL, I guess.
Ciao,

Right. But maybe there should be an easier way for the user to
"force" adding the remote over the existing remote. Much like how
they can force creating a branch over an existing branch.
Too bad -f is already taken. :-\
