Add urls.txt to git-clone man page Since git-clone is one of the many commands taking URLs to remote repositories as an argument, it should include the URL-types list from urls.txt. Split up urls.txt into urls.txt and urls-remotes.txt. The latter should be used by anything besides git-clone where a discussion of using .git/config and .git/remotes/ to name URLs just doesn't make as much sense.

You can choose to provide the name of a remote which you had previously
configured using linkgit:git-remote[1], linkgit:git-config[1]
or even by a manual edit to the `$GIT_DIR/config` file. The URL of
this remote will be used to access the repository. The refspec
of this remote will be used by default when you do
not provide a refspec on the command line. The entry in the
config file would appear like this:
