Updating the remote list needs the config to be written to the git-annex
branch, which was not done for good reasons. While it would be possible
to instead use Remote.List.remoteGen without writing to the branch, I
already have a plan to discard git-annex branch writes made by
git-remote-annex, so the simplest fix is to write the config to the
branch.
