I'd like to add (more confusion!:) with this clarification:

The two push operation above rename the branch on the remote side.
It does not affect any of your local branches.

If you do "git branch -a" then you'd still see the
"origin/zelnaga/featurea" branch.

Doing a "git fetch origin" will get the newly renamed branch from the
remote repo and create a local version of it on your local repo.

At this point you can do "git branch -D origin/featurea".
