Since you pointed out rightfully that the main goal is *not* to allow
multiple `git remote add` to succeed when they try to add the same remote
with the same URL, I changed the commit message to point out that the goal
was to handle adding remotes via `git remote add <nick> <url>` when
url.<url>.insteadOf = <nick> already exists, with the same <nick> and
<url>.

Since I have no interest in opening the can of worms to allow re-adding
remotes, I did not touch that part at all, I hope you do not mind.

Ciao,
Dscho
