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.
