Hmm, ok.  I do not think "git remote update -v" would work, though.

I do not think this new parameter "url" is used anywhere in this function; please drop the change in the function signature. That would make your change to "add()", "get_one_remote_for_update()", and "update()" all unnecessary.

I notice that you dropped xstrdup() without explanation. While I think it is a valid leak fix, that should be done as a separate commit (shown below).

By the way, you fixed mismatch between the documentation and usage string in an earlier patch, but you broke it yourself ;-). Please fix it up.

Thanks.

Subject: builtin-remote.c: plug a small memory leak in get_one_remote_for_updates()

We know that the string pointed at by remote->name won't change. It can be borrowed as the key in the string_list without copying. Other parts of existing code such as get_one_entry() already rely on this fact.

Noticed by Cheng Renquan.
