I mistakenly entered the wrong directory name for "git remote add" (I entered the working tree directory name instead of the ".git" directory name). So "git fetch" fails with: fatal: 'origin': unable to chdir or not a git archive fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Cannot get the repository state from origin So, I tried removing the remote tracking branches: git branch -d -r root-etc/master But that failed with: error: remote branch 'root-etc/master' not found. So I then tried recreating the remote reference: git remote add root-etc /root/git/etc/.git But that failed with: remote root-etc already exists So, how can I remove the incorrect remote repository reference and replace it with a correct one?
