Yes, the semantics the updated code gives feel very strange.  I
wouldn't be able to write a three-line summary in the release notes
to advertise what good this new feature brings to users myself.

What about:

    "git remote set-url" learned a new "--fetch" option which can be
    used to change the fetch URL while leaving the push URL intact.
    Useful to keep a ssh URL for push and change the fetch URL to https.

which is effectively the functionality I am using it for.

I do not think that clarifies the confusion-factor Peff has been
pointing out in this thread, unfortunately.  At least not to me.
