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.
