You may consider to update "git remote add" to make all new remotes
.skipDefaultUpdate. And otherwise, I promise to hate your patch
everytime when I mindlessly type "git fetch" in, for instance, my v4l2
repo (which is a pretty collection of all kinds of remotes). All of
sudden it starts updating them and losing old references. And that
without me even touching configuration.

Please, consider making this behaviour non-default. Just because the
all current repos suddenly start updating itself where they didn't
before. Same goes for you "git push" patch.
