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.
Ouch. That is indeed a serious bug. However, I can't reproduce with
current 'next'; which version of git are you using?
git version 1.6.3.3.467.g98a79
I believe that's the latest "next".
