Actually, "git remote show" also seems to require the network, as it
does an ls-remote. That I found a little more surprising.
I don't think a user should be surprised that a command that takes a url
would require the network. And although I could imagine uses for "git
remote add" when disconnected, I'd imagine by far the most common uses
would be where the user also wants to examine a remote branch
immediately.
