Instead of using git-config I think the following would have worked:

git remote add origin git.example.com:/pub/git/path_repositories/ repo.git git push --all

I guess it is not necessarily obvious the first time, which more than anything makes this a documentation issue. I now can't remember how I learnt this; probably by reading this list.
