I suspect that if you record where you read the configuration from in
"struct remote" and add necessary code to remove the original when
rename.old is *not* coming from in-config definition, you would make
it possible for repositories initialized with older git that has
either $GIT_DIR/branches/origin or $GIT_DIR/remotes/origin to be
migrated to the in-config format using "git remote rename origin
origin".

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
