The only remote which seems to be copied to /root/.propellor/.git/config is upstream... My /home/user/.propellor/.git/config contains a "origin" remote, but this part (as well as the master branch part) of my git config is not copied to the /root/.propellor/.git/config of a host I'm trying to manage...

propellor fails with the following message:
