Re: [RFC] git-remote

That does not make any sense. For example, I track 
"git://git.kernel.org/.../git.git" and "192.168.0.128:gits/git.git". 
Something very similar applies to the host name: if you track multiple 
Linux repos, chances are that most of them are on git.kernel.org.

I guess _if_ you have more than one upstream you are tracking (which is 
not the most common case, but hey, git-remote is for exactly that case) it 
is not uncommon to have similar urls.

IMHO Junio's proposal is as good as it gets.
