Merge branch 'jk/remote-wo-url'

Browse Source 
Memory ownership rules for the in-core representation of
remote.*.url configuration values have been straightened out, which
resulted in a few leak fixes and code clarification.

* jk/remote-wo-url:
  remote: drop checks for zero-url case
  remote: always require at least one url in a remote
  t5801: test remote.*.vcs config
  t5801: make remote-testgit GIT_DIR setup more robust
  remote: allow resetting url list
  config: document remote.*.url/pushurl interaction
  remote: simplify url/pushurl selection
  remote: use strvecs to store remote url/pushurl
  remote: transfer ownership of memory in add_url(), etc
  remote: refactor alias_url() memory ownership
  archive: fix check for missing url

remote.<name>.url::
The URL of a remote repository. See linkgit:git-fetch[1] or
linkgit:git-push[1].
linkgit:git-push[1]. A configured remote can have multiple URLs;
in this case the first is used for fetching, and all are used
for pushing (assuming no `remote.<name>.pushurl` is defined).
Setting this key to the empty string clears the list of urls,
allowing you to override earlier config.
remote.<name>.pushurl::
The push URL of a remote repository. See linkgit:git-push[1].
If a `pushurl` option is present in a configured remote, it
is used for pushing instead of `remote.<name>.url`. A configured
remote can have multiple push URLs; in this case a push goes to
all of them. Setting this key to the empty string clears the
list of urls, allowing you to override earlier config.
