Well.
Its off by default.
You have to ask for it with "jgit fetch --prune origin".
Compare to asking for it with "git remote prune origin".
We're already opening a #@!*@!* network connection to perform either
fetch or prune, so we might as well let the user perform both in
one step. Which is what this patch does.
