Commit 0b9ebb54ff9aab86bb858e1d2952efa4dcdafefa

remote: relax the url rules Accept any value for the remote's url, including an empty string which we used to reject as invalid configuration. This is not quite what git does (although it has its own problems with such configurations) and it makes it harder to fix the issue, by not letting the user modify it. As we already need to check for a valid URL when we try to connect to the network, let that perform the check, as we don't need to do it anywhere else.
