Feature: Add git drs remote remove command parity with user expectations and safer UX

Summary

 
Users frequently try git remote remove <name> when they intend to remove a Git DRS remote. This does not work because Git remotes and Git DRS remotes are different config domains.
 
We should provide a discoverable, user-friendly Git DRS removal workflow with clear guidance and safe defaults.
 

Problem Statement

 
From user feedback:

• Users run git drs remote list and identify an unwanted DRS remote.
• They attempt git remote remove <name>, which only removes [remote "..."] Git entries, not lfs.customtransfer.drs.remote.* entries.
• There was no obvious git drs remote remove/rm path in command discovery.
• Manual .git/config editing is error-prone and can leave stale default-remote values.
   

Proposed Feature Scope

 

1. Provide git drs remote remove <name> and short alias git drs remote rm <name>.
2. Remove matching DRS remote config entries from namespaced keys (lfs.customtransfer.drs.remote.*).
3. Also clean legacy keys (drs.remote.*) where present.
4. If the removed remote is the default, automatically reassign to an existing remote or clear default when no remotes remain.
5. Improve command help/docs with an explicit note that git remote remove does not manage Git DRS remotes.
    

Acceptance Criteria

 

• git drs remote rm foo removes remote foo from git drs remote list.
• No lfs.customtransfer.drs.remote.foo.* entries remain in .git/config.
• If foo was default and other remotes exist, one remaining remote becomes default.
• If foo was the last remote, no default remote is set.
• Docs include usage examples for both remove and rm and a migration note from manual config edits.
   

User Impact

 

• Reduces support burden from config-edit workarounds.
• Prevents broken states caused by stale defaults.
• Aligns behavior with common CLI expectations (rm shorthand).
