I found the cause.  When I added 'github' to ~/.gitconfig a few months
ago, I copied this line from .git/config:

        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

If this line is in ~/.gitconfig for both 'origin' and 'github', git
cannot create .git/config entries.

Attached is my corrected  ~/.gitconfig file.  I now use only the 'url'
branch entries, which is all that is needed.

Thanks.
