I was just about to suggest something for this general use. It's currently 
kind of a pain to deal with the situation where you've got stuff on your 
workstation that you want to version control in a shared repository on a 
server.

I think it shouldn't be on fetch, though; I think a "git remote" command 
for describing, creating, and modifying remotes would be better, since you 
also sometimes want to add a "Push:" line.

Maybe:

 git remote <name>: Print info about <name>
 git remote add <name> <URL> [<direction> ...]: create a remote
 git remote <name> <direction> ...: modify a remote

 where <direction> is either:
  pull <remote> <local> or
  push <local> <remote>
