I'm not seeing how this is an error. The manual page for git-remote seems to address what `set-url` does and what `add` does.

You didn't use the command offered in the help message:

$ git remote set-url --add

Use it to add a url to a remote. As far as I can tell everything is working and documented correctly here.
