But then it got me thinking...  Notice how much effort we spend just
to get the list of remotes?  We could just run 'git remote' directly
instead...

Actually, we can't, because 'git remote' doesn't seem to list remotes
stored under .git/remotes.  Is that intentional?

Looks like a bug, as it seems to have been lost in translation in
211c8968 (Make git-remote a builtin, 2008-02-29).

list_remote() in git-remote.perl looks for remotes in config and in
.git/remotes/, too.  The builtin implementation uses
remote.c:for_each_remote() from the start, which only looks at the
config.
