Hi,

If I have a remote branch origin/topic/foo, running

 $ git remote rename origin renamed

seems to leave directory traces behind: .git/refs/remotes/origin/topic

I expected to see .git/refs/remotes/renamed/topic/foo but not .git/refs/remotes/origin. Is this a glitch?

I see this with Git 1.9.0.
