It seems that 'git remote' doesn't display remotes registered not in
.git/config but in .git/remotes/.
Is it a bug?

It seems to have been lost in 211c896 (Make git-remote a builtin,
2008-02-29).

Sad.

I don't think there is a specific plan. They're kept for backwards
compatibility. But really, there is no reason to be using them at all at
this point.

I've been thinking about making a list of deprecations/deletions for Git
2.0. The only two requirements needed to be added to the list are that it
gets list concensus and it is backed by a solid patch (or patch series).
