The following web.config snippet should do what you want. It removes all rewrite rules for this application.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <clear />
                <!-- Insert rules for this application (if any) **below** the "clear" -->
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>
