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.
