This is way under-explained.

It is not even clear what "also" in "remote: rename also remotes..." refers to. It hints that something that is not "remotes" is renamed, but the readers do not know what it is. It is not clear when that said renaming is done, either.

Is it supposed to be a bugfix? If so, readers would need the issue being addressed described, perhaps like so:

	When X is done, Y is renamed, but at the same time Z should
	also be renamed, but it is not.

Is there a reason why this new one has to come between REMOTE and MERGE? Otherwise, the usual convention is either to add alphabetically (if the list is sorted alphabetically from the beginning) or add to the end (otherwise).

OK, so the issue the patch wants to address is
	git remote rename X Y

ought to rename branch.X.Z (for any value of Z) to branch.Y.Z but it forgot to do so for Z==pushRemote?

If that is the case, I have to wonder if the patch is making the situation better or even worse. Shouldn't we be not even caring what Z is by not having to list these specific keys? I dunno.
