I am on git version 2.20.0
$ git remote
does not show remotes configured in named files in $GIT_DIR/remotes/
I do not think that this is the intended behavior.
In particular:

$ git init --bare test.git Initialized empty Git repository in /home/guraltsev/admin/test/git/test.git/

$ cd test.git

$ mkdir -p remotes mkdir: created directory 'remotes'

$ echo -e "URL: /testremote.git \n Push: *:* \n Pull: refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/testremote/* " > remotes/testremote

$ git remote

$ git remote show testremote fatal: '/testremote.git' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

The second to last command should show testremote as a remote.
Best,
Gennady
