+If there are a large number of similarly-named remote repositories and
+you want to use a different format for them (such that the URLs you
+use will be rewritten into URLs that work), you can create a
+configuration section of the form:
+
+------------
+       [url "<actual url base>"]
+               insteadOf = <other url base>
+------------
+
+For example, with this:
+
+------------
+       [url "git://git.host.xz/"]
+               insteadOf = host.xz:/path/to/
+               insteadOf = work:
+------------
+
+a URL like "work:repo.git" or like "host.xz:/path/to/repo.git" will be
+rewritten in any context that takes a URL to be "git://git.host.xz/repo.git".
