I recently discovered that it was possible to specify multiple push URLs for a remote. This is useful for me because some of my projects live both on GitHub and on my own server, and some live only one place or the other.

One feature that I'm looking for, however, is the ability to specify those URLs by reference to another remote. For example, making the remote def (default) refer to the remotes gh and upstream instead of duplicating the URLs. This makes dealing with URL changes easier and goes along with the DRY approach.

I don't think we already have this functionality (at least I don't see code for it), and I'd like to implement it, but maybe the documentation is just missing and I should submit a patch for that instead. Do we have such a thing, and if not, do people think this is a worthwhile feature?
