AFAIK, you'll have to edit your remotes manually, either by "git remote set-url origin https://git.dune-project.org/...",
or simply by editing .git/config (might be faster with a little sed one-liner). Maybe there's a clever trick to do that
automatically, but I'm not aware of one (and adding a redirect on the server won't work, because that only kicks in
after you have already sent your credentials).

So I'm afraid it's a one-off manual thing (or at least semi-manual if you use sed). :-(
