remote: check config validity before creating rewrite struct

peff · gitster · commit 54e8c1121574 · 2019-01-11T18:35:53.000-08:00
When parsing url.foo.insteadOf, we call make_rewrite() and only then
check to make sure the config value is a string (and return an error if
it isn't). This isn't quite a leak, because the struct we allocate is
part of a global array, but it does leave a funny half-finished struct.

In practice, it doesn't make much difference because we exit soon after
due to the config error anyway. But let's flip the order here to avoid
leaving a trap for somebody in the future.
