I think that is the set that is most sensible, at least
syntactically, among the ones I heard so far in this thread.

However, one thing still makes me wonder....

After doing "set-url --fetch" and nothing else, because the user
never said "--both" or "--push", does the user get a configuration
where "git push" fails?  Or does "set-url --fetch" still gives us
remote.nick.url and causes "git push" to also go there?

If that is the case, then did addition of "--fetch" achieve anything
to reduce confusion?

After doing "set-url --push" and nothing else, I suspect that having
remote.nick.pushURL alone without remote.nick.URL will make "git fetch"
to fail, which would be in line with my expectation.  I just expected
anything we do in the name of symmetry or consistency would work the
same/symmetric way, I cannot see how "set-url --fetch" would work to
make its effect symmetric to the "set-url --push" one.

Puzzled...
