Package: github-backup
Severity: wishlist

I often have remotes that get deleted by the author, but I want to keep
them on my system to review/merge later. To prevent them from causing
issues when fetching all remotes or other remotes, I disable fetching
these remotes using the commands below. github-backup fetches remotes
individually instead of using git fetch --all, so it still tries to
fetch the remotes I have disabled, which means that github-backup hangs
waiting for a password since github does something weird. This is
especially annoying when running github-backup via `mr -j5 backup`,
which I do fairly often and have to manually kill git commands.

git config --bool remote.something.skipDefaultUpdate true
git config --bool remote.something.skipFetchAll true
