Description
# Issue
I recently just had Git for Windows update to 2.26.1 and I tried to clone/push to a keybase Git remote from an existing git repo. Kept saying `error: failed to push some refs to ' keybase://private/user/repo_name'`. I also tried creating the symlink to the `git-remote-keybase.exe` in the `C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\` directory.
However, after symlinking it again, and cloning the repo instead of adding it as a remote to the existing repository, I was able to upload the repository to Keybase.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failed push from an existing repository using the reported Git for Windows 2.26.1 and Keybase 5.3.0 versions, then compare it with cloning a repository and with the git-remote-keybase.exe symlink in C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\. Done means the keybase:// remote supports both the reported existing-repository workflow and the successful clone workflow, or the limitation is documented.
