There does not seem to be any 'git remote remove'. So you'll do it by
changing the config. Either with git-config, or by editing .git/config (it
*IS* meant to be hand-edited).

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the URL. You can simply fix it either with
git-config remote.root-etc.url /root/git/etc/.git
or by editing
.git/config
> remote.root-etc.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/root-etc/*
The section corresponding to these two entries in .git/config looks like:
[remote "root-etc"]
url = /root/git/etc
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/root-etc/*
You can tweak it to your heart's content. The documentation is in man pages
of git-config and git-fetch.
