Rather than introducing this incompatibility, I'd rather see 'git remote 
update' deprecated (so that the code will one day go away for good) and, 
for now, leave duplicated functionality for the incompatible case.

It would be great if the deprecation message for "git remote update" 
spewed out commands to convert the old configuration to what is needed 
for "git fetch --all" to work in the same way.
