Here are 4 patches to implement this + add the related
testcases/documentation.

Miklos Vajna (4):
  remote: add a new 'origin' variable to the struct
  git-remote rename: support remotes->config migration
  git-remote rename: support branches->config migration
  git-remote: document the migration feature of the rename subcommand
