If you know remote does not have it, then probably not fetching
from it would be a good idea.

Look at your local $GIT_DIR/remotes/origin (or [remote "origin"]
section in $GIT_DIR/config) and remove the refspec that tells
git to fetch it.

In $GIT_DIR/remotes/origin, you may want to remove a like like this:

	Pull: refs/heads/TestBranch:<something>

If it is coming from $GIT_DIR/config, it would probably look
like:

	[remote "origin"]
        	fetch = refs/heads/TestBranch:<something>

and you would want to remove the "fetch = " line.
