Subject: [BUG] git remote add failure
Message-ID: <1192697719.31199.1216526739@webmail.messagingengine.com>

Hello,

I think I've found a bug in "git remote add". I tried the following:

$ git remote add -f spearce2 http://repo.or.cz/git/spearce.git
Cannot get the repository state from http://repo.or.cz/git/spearce.git
fetch spearce2: command returned error: 1

Obviously I used the wrong URI. Then I tried again:

$ git remote add -f spearce2 http://repo.or.cz/r/git/spearce.git
remote spearce2 already exists.

I think Git should not store the bad info and block the name when the
first call wasn't successfull.

Regards

Guido
