So, what do you do if that simply isn't the case for the Git repository
that you have? It isn't for most of my packages since the Git
repository is shared with upstream development. Just stop using the
Vcs-* fields? Create a completely separate repository just to push to
in order to use Vcs-Git? Both of those seem like very unattractive
options.
