This is misleading. The command does nothing on the remote side, it
only changes the refs/remote namespace in your repository. The purpose
is to change what branch the ref remote/<name> resolves to, ie. without
explicit branch name.
(The only command that manipulates the remote repository is git push,
and the plumbing beneath that. To change HEAD in a remote repository
you need filesystem access to it.)
