There is one bit left to clarify: let me guess, you have a $HOME/.gitconfig like this:

	[url "anastas@company.com"]
		insteadOf = backup
		pushInsteadOf = backup

and then you want to add the "backup" remote in a Git working directory like this:

	git remote add backup me@my-laptop.local

but my suggested fix will still disallow this because the URL does not match the url.anastas@company.com.insteadOf?

Ciao, Johannes
