Conflict with [remote "origin"] config in ~/.gitconfig

[pixelastic]

Hello,

When I try to start a new gem project with jeweler hello-world, I'm greeted with the following message:

Encountered an error while adding origin remote. Maybe you have some weird settings in ~/.gitconfig?

I do have something related to the origin remote in my ~/.gitconfig:

[remote "origin"]
  prune = true

(This allow auto pruning of deleted remote branches when doing a pull)

Still, jeweler seems to be choking on it because it is trying to create a remote that already exists. Removing the config from my .gitconfig lets me use the gem correctly.

I'm using git v2.8.0.rc1

Thanks for this submission. I will take a look at it shortly.
