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.
