It's not actually documented but it looks like the master branch is
not completely deleted by StGIT. If you have StGIT-managed patches in
"master", they are removed but the GIT branch is kept as this is
usually the default branch.

You could do a "git branch -d master" but maybe I should change StGIT
to fully delete the "master" branch as well.
