Rename a set of branches, effectively DELETING old
branches and creating new ones based on the old ones.

USAGE
    $(basename "$0") <remote> <query>
    
    remote          A GIT remote (usually origin)
    find            A search query to grep for a set of branches
    replace         Text to replace the find query with

EXAMPLE
    $(basename "$0") origin "1.2.2" "1.2.4"
