I think that is already the case. "git-remote" currently has an annoying bug I haven't bothered to look into that makes the command complain when remote.$nick.url has more than one values. Worse, it complains _twice_ (or N-1 times for a remote that has N URLs).

        : gitster git.git/master; git remote
        Warning: more than one remote.builders.url
        Warning: more than one remote.builders.url
        builders
        gfi
        git-gui
        gitk
        git-p4
        git-svn
        jbf-um
        ko
        ko-private
        mingw

        repo

Here, "builders" remote has 3 URLs because I wanted to use it to push to 3 machines on which I build binary releases.
