url.<base>.insteadOf
Any URL that starts with this value will be rewritten to start,
instead, with <base>. In cases where some site serves a large number of
repositories, and serves them with multiple access methods, and some users need
to use different access methods, this feature allows people to specify any of
the equivalent URLs and have git automatically rewrite the URL to the best
alternative for the particular user, even for a never-before-seen repository on
the site. When more than one insteadOf strings match a given URL, the longest
match is used.
