When converting the git remote command to a builtin in 211c89 ("Make git-remote a builtin"), a few calls to check if a remote exists were converted from: if (!exists $remote->{$name}) { [...] to: remote = remote_get(argv[1]); if (!remote) [...] The new check is not quite correct, because remote_get() never returns NULL if a name is given. This leaves us with the somewhat cryptic error message "error: Could not remove config section 'remote.test'", if we are trying to remove a remote that does not exist, or a similar error if we try to rename a remote. Use the remote_is_configured() function to check whether the remote actually exists, and die with a more sensible error message ("No such remote: $remotename") instead if it doesn't.
