We strongly prefer writing commit log message in imperative mood, like:

	[PATCH] git-remote: match usage string with the manual pages

The patch itself looks good.  Thanks.

Your other one (I am assuming the other one is also from you) has "From:
Cheng Renquan <crquan@gmail.com>" and this is "From: Denis ChengRq
<crquan@gmail.com>".  We'd prefer to keep the same person under a single
name in "git shortlog" list.  Under which name do you want to be known?

Please describe in what sense this is "verbose", iow, what additional
information is added by this patch, in your proposed commit log message.

Are you guaranteeing that url is not NULL at this point in the code?
If so how?

How does this "--verbose" command the users give "git remote" relate to
the "--verbose" option the underlying "git fetch" has?  IOW, do you tell
"git fetch" to be verbose as well?  If so, how?  If not, why not?

```
