Hmm, you're right -- I just tested this and it does. I can't imagine
that's the intended effect of insteadOf -- it's supposed to alter URLs
behind the scenes, not permanently transform them. I'll talk to git
folks about it.

For now, you should probably remove that from your gitconfig so that
your pull requests have public URLs in them.
