Are you assuming that the <remote> in the above example will be different
per invocation for a single user? I would imagine not---it would be more
like "the upstream has this URL in .gitmodules, but this other mirror is
closer to my network environment", i.e.
cd <module's directory> && git config remote.origin.url $there
no?
