Hi,

Do I smell some bitrotting here?

This function just lists all the defined remotes, first by listing the
directories under refs/remotes to get the "legacy" remotes and then
loops over 'git config's output to get the "modern" ones.  This
predates the arrival of the 'git remote' command in January 2007, so
it was really a long time ago.

We should just run 'git remote' instead, shouldn't we?

Perhaps.  Is it sufficient to just make __git_remotes() a thin
wrapper around, i.e.

	__git_remotes ()
	{
		git remotes
	}

or do we need to munge its output further (I didn't look)?

Well, just like in other cases where we run git from the completion
script, we need a '--git-dir="$(__gitdir)"' as well, because the user can
specify the path to a different repo via $GIT_DIR or on the command
line.
Other than that it seems we are OK.  Docs say "With no arguments,
shows a list of existing remotes." and as far as I can tell, on
MSysGit, it does so without any funny formatting.

But beware, I spent most of last year cycling to Mongolia and my git-fu
became a somewhat rusty... and I'm not quite up to speed yet.

Best,
Gábor
