Yay!

But one question. It seem to me odd to put this as an option to git
remote update, and not git remote prune.

I mean, it seems weird that one must say:

   git remote update --prune

and one cannot say:

   git remote prune --all

especially when there is a `git remote prune` already. It seems a bit
counterintuitive to find pruning actions under "update", but not all
that strange to find an all "--all" option for the "prune" action.

Although to me having both be allowed and mean the same thing also make=
s sense.

Anyway, thanks for this regardless, I am looking forward to this
functionality. :-)

Cheers,
yves
