People might want to have these configured as different remotes if they
want to select when to update from each (like the above), but this can
also be configured as part of the same remote if one always wants all
of them fetched. For example I've used it like that for libbsd:
,---
[remote "fdo"]
url = g...@gitlab.freedesktop.org:libbsd/libbsd.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/fdo/*
fetch = +refs/merge-requests/*/head:refs/remotes/fdo/mr/*
