title: git remote show origin returns nothing
body: <pre><code>$ git remote show origin
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Returns absolutely nothing. I started noticing something was weird when I tried creating and then pushing a new branch to our repo this morning. My push/pull commands just exited without saying anything. </p>
  
  <p>Interestingly, the following commands show something: </p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git config --get remote.origin.url
  https://github.com/MYCOMPANY/BLAH.git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Also, this is returned:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git remote -v
  origin  https://github.com/MYCOMPANY/BLAH.git (fetch)
  origin  https://github.com/MYCOMPANY/BLAH.git (push)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried removing origin: </p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git remote rm origin
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And then re-adding it: </p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git remote add origin https://github.com/MYCOMPANY/BLAH.git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But <em>remote show</em> still fails. Attempting to do a pull or a push just quickly exits and reports nothing.</p>
  
  <pre><code> $ git fsck --full
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Returns a bunch of dangling commits and blobs, but nothing else. </p>
  
  <p>I'm not a git power user and so I feel as though I'm a bit out of my element here. I'm not sure what else to do or where to go with this? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance. </p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> </p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git --version
  git version 2.14.1.windows.1
