Erg.. thanks for the enlightenment.
I was reading 'git help remote' while attempting to change my local git
repo from tracking
http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
to
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
and noticed that the documentation refers to $GIT_DIR/remotes and
(wrongly) thought that it meant $GIT_DIR/refs/remotes.
Sorry for the noise.
Nazri.
