I was working on updating the remotes for one of my repositories
(adding a variety of forks) and renamed the origin branch. When I was
done, I tried to use "git remote rm origin" to remove the branches for
the now dead origin. What git-remote did was remove all of my remotes
and the merge information for my master branch (which was moved off
the origin remote).
This is a data loss bug. Very bad. `git remote rm` should either
refuse to remove a non-existent remote or (preferably) simply remove
any branches that exist for that remote.
When time allows I'll look into fixing this, but I thought I'd post in
case somebody had more tuits than me this week.
