Subject: [Bug] Misleading error message when run in a non-Git directory
Message-ID: <c0e916fb-7b0e-1192-e71d-ea6449863e9b@narod.ru>

git remote add origin ...

produces the error

fatal: remote origin already exists.

when run in the directory which is not initialized by Git (has no .git
folder).

This error message is misleading.

git --version
git version 2.20.1
