I'm not trying to help advanced users (Users that _want_ to keep remotes/origin/* clean and users that _want_ to be careful to not lose commits are both advanced users, imho). I'm just interested in reducing confusion for non-advanced users. So either not-showing removed remote branches by default, or showing them but marking them as deleted. > A better approach to please the first class of audience may be to > introduce an option that tells fetch to cull tracking refs that are s= tale. > Then "branch -r" output will not show stale refs and there is no plac= e > (nor need) to show [Deleted] labels.

Which still leaves confusion when viewing "git branch -r" since they would show up there still. John
