The longest has this case in mind:
[url "A"] insteadof = https://example.com/
[url "B"] insteadof = https://example.com/special/
So "A" is used as a replacement for the whole site, except for the
special hierarchy that is rewritten to "B".
Getting rid of what you no longer need with "config --unset" is the
right thing to do, and you did fine in the previous example.
