Git lets you rewrite URLs using "url.<base>.insteadOf"

Can you add a git-config option to show the result of this rewriting
whenever this occurs, as debugging more complicated rules can be
difficult/wasn't obvious without Wireshark.

E.g. you could have the option 'url.printRewrites [True/False]' which
would print the line "Rewrote url 'git://github.com/git/git' to 'http
s://github.com/git/git'" to terminal/stdout  when set to True.

Such a configuration would be superfluous, the GIT_TRACE and
GIT_CURL_VERBOSE environment variables already provide all the
debugging information you need here.
