git-remote

It might be handy to have a single command that helps you manage
your configuration that relates to downloading from remote
repositories.  This currently does only about 20% of what I want
it to do.

	$ git remote

shows the list of 'remotes' you have defined somewhere, and

	$ git remote origin

shows the details about the named remote (in this case
"origin").  How the branches are tracked, if you have a
tracking branch that is stale, etc.

	$ git add another git://git.kernel.org/pub/...

defines the default remote.another.url and remote.another.fetch
entries just like a clone does; you can say "git fetch another"
afterwards.

For it to be useful, I think it should be enhanced to:

 - check overlaps of tracking branches and warn;

 - offer to remove stale tracking branches in one go;

 - offer ways to remove or rename remote;

 - offer ways to update an existing remote, perhaps have an
   interactive mode;

Other enhancements might be also possible, but I do not think of
anything that is absolutely necessary other than the above right
now.
