changing the name of remote is not possible

[supervisitor]

I configured different servers and named them according to different rules. After that I wanted to clean and standardize the naming. So I exported my configuration to do the renaming with a text editor. But after importing the edited file I got the frustration! All servers with a "pass =" entry did not work anymore. e.g.:

this I'm able to rename:
[TheNameIwantToChange]
type = http
...
url = https://user:password@server.example.com/path
... because the login and pass is plain coded into the URL, so when I change this at the editor to something like this:
[TheNewName]
type = http
...
url = https://user:password@server.example.com/path
... it is still working!

but some like this:
[TheNameIwantToChange]
type = webdav
...
pass = 37102c6627b16d9cbc491aa56326f9d7
... will not work after I change the name to something like this:
[TheGreatNewName]
type = webdav
...
pass = 37102c6627b16d9cbc491aa56326f9d7
... because after the name change, the pass-line must be this:
pass = b1437804b63514c28a778455fa3a5e7e

So I suspect that the name of remote is stored in this "pass"... which makes the configuration a bit unmanageable. Could this be changed? It would also have the advantage that you could insert new remotes in the editor via copy&paste, and much more...
