+REMOTES

+
+In addition to the above, as a short-hand, the name of a
+file in `$GIT_DIR/remotes` directory can be given; the
+named file should be in the following format:
+
+------------
+ URL: one of the above URL format
+ Push: <refspec>
+ Pull: <refspec>
+
+------------
+
+Then such a short-hand is specified in place of
+<repository> without <refspec> parameters on the command
+line, <refspec> specified on `Push:` lines or `Pull:`
+lines are used for `git-push` and `git-fetch`/`git-pull`,
+respectively. Multiple `Push:` and `Pull:` lines may
+be specified for additional branch mappings.
+
+Or, equivalently, in the `$GIT_DIR/config` (note the use

+
+The name of a file in `$GIT_DIR/branches` directory can be

+`$GIT_DIR/branches/<remote>` file that stores a <url>
