It would be nice if the URL could be stored somewhere in .git/ This
makes it a lot easier to update repositories because you don't always
have to go and track down where you got it in the first place. Something
like this perhaps:
~$ cat .git/location
rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/
~$ git-pull-script
Then something like below could be added to handle that easy enough.

This is why your original target (when you clone) is stored as "origin".

OK. I rsync'ed the repository directly so a origin file wasn't created.
That explains that. So my small "feature" request reduces to adding
something like this to git-pull-script. Thanks, Jeff

Somebody else earlier asked for fetch and pull to default to
"origin" URL, and the necessary change is already in the
proposed updates branch.
