+If you want to rewrite URLs for push only, you can create a
+configuration section of the form:
+
+------------
+       [url "<actual url base>"]
+               pushInsteadOf = <other url base>
+------------
+
+For example, with this:
+
+------------
+       [url "ssh://example.org/"]
+               pushInsteadOf = git://example.org/
+------------
+
+a URL like "git://example.org/path/to/repo.git" will be rewritten to
+"ssh://example.org/path/to/repo.git" for pushes, but pulls will still
+use the original URL.
