[PATCH 2/5] Allows extraction of information about remotes.

From

<20070127112122.16475.82057.stgit@gandelf.nowhere.earth>
In-Reply-To
<20070127104024.16475.81445.stgit@gandelf.nowhere.earth>

We want to know the list of declared remotes, the local branches they hold, and which remotes holds a given branch. All this regardless of where the information is stored.

If there are any git-1.5 remotes declared in .git/config, we suppose you know what you're doing and they will take precedence on any pre-1.5 remotes.

This does not use git-remote for now, since it is 1.5 material not released yet, does not support legacy branches/ remotes, and does not allow yet to query all of the information we need.
