A reader of this description doesn't have any reason to think that `hasconfig:remote.*.url` wouldn't respect in-place semantics, so my concern in [1] is addressed.

`hasconfig:foo.*.bar` seems reasonable from a forwards-compatibility perspective. Ideally, it would be nice to see a generic implementation that actually handles config values beyond `remote.*.url`, but unless we take a closer look at all config values and the conditions we would like to support, a generic implementation seems like a premature optimization that won't age well.

So OK to having a forward-compatible name without a forward compatible implementation.

Nit: I have a preference for Ævar's version [2], which looks more
consistent with the rest of the function i.e. handling the match using a
helper function.

This addresses the test coverage comment in [1]. Great!
