This is called directly from main and return immediately after
printing, so a small leak of remote does not matter, I guess.

Not a big deal, but other codepaths seem to fold this pattern into
two lines, i.e.

		if (starts_with_dot_dot_slash(sub->url) ||
		    starts_with_dot_slash(sub->url)) {

On this side, these two are allocated memory that need to be freed.

This side as well.

But not these.  You have free() of these two at the end of this
function, which will break things.
