Subject: [PATCH] fetch: add fetch.pruneLocalBranches config

This is a very good question! My opion is that it should work the same way
regardless of which branch you are on, it should always compare against the
remote's default branch.

I this explains some weirdness I saw today when running it from non-main
and prune didn't get triggered.

I will look into making that change.
