Hi,

When I do a "git pull origin" I get messages:

             error: no such remote ref refs/heads/gb/diffdelta
             error: no such remote ref refs/heads/jc/bind
             error: no such remote ref refs/heads/jc/bind-2
             ...
             Fetch failure: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git

So I figured these branches were "in the way" so I deleted them:

                git branch -D gb/diffdelta
                etc.

Again "git pull origin" gives the same errors.

So I went into .git/remotes/origin and
removed the lines pointing at these branches and removed the gb and jc
directories
and did another git pull and it seems to have worked.

I would suggest that when the pull detects the missing remote ref, it
should clean
up the remotes/origin file. Or have I done entirely the wrong thing?

Cheers,
Geoff Russell.
