Your symptoms are consistent with having the missing line "fetch ="

Repeating `git remote add ... origin` will warn you that you already have 
a remote called "origin".  Probably there is a way to restore the line
with a git command, maybe in `man git remote` 

I would `man git remote` and read until I either learn how to use the
git toolkit, or until I get enout confidence to add the line directly
to .git/config
