After editing .git/config, do this:
$ mv .git/refs/remotes/OLDNAME .git/refs/remotes/NEWNAME
and optionally:
$ mv .git/logs/refs/remotes/OLDNAME .git/logs/refs/remotes/NEWNAME
Remember to rename the remote in any tracking branches in .git/config,
as well as the name in the [remote "OLDNAME"] section, and the name in
any fetch and push lines. ie
[remote "OLDNAME"]
url = something
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/OLDNAME/*
[branch "master"]
remote = OLDNAME
merge = refs/heads/master
Becomes
[remote "NEWNAME"]
url = something
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/NEWNAME/*
[branch "master"]
remote = NEWNAME
merge = refs/heads/master
