If I remember correctly git doesn't (yet?) implements multiple-URL
fetch URIs, where first URL that works is used.

If I understand correctly you want to connect (fetch from) your
desktop machine from your laptop.  And this laptop is either connected
to local network (local IP), or to Internet (DNS address).  The
simplest way would be to create two 'remotes', e.g. dektop-local and
desktop, or desktop and desktop-dns, which differn only in URL used.

In this case url.<base>.insteadOf config variable (new feature)
wouln't help, I think....
