Re: [PATCH 4/4] remote: use remote_is_configured() for add and rename

> Both remote add and remote rename use a slightly different hand-rolled

> One such case was fixed in fb86e32 ("git remote: allow adding remotes
> agreeing with url.<...>.insteadOf").  Another case is when a remote is
> configured as follows:
> 
>   [remote "foo"]
>     vcs = bar

> If we try to run `git remote add foo bar` with the above remote
> configuration, git segfaults.  This change fixes it.
> 
> In addition, git remote rename $existing foo with the configuration for
> foo as above silently succeeds, even though foo already exists,
> modifying its configuration.  With this patch it fails with "remote foo
> already exists".
