We currently don't have a provision to store this information, but we could store a list of dead remote tracking branches for reference later during `git branch -r`. Its not a lot of data, it just has little perceived value to most Git hackers because a remote branch disappears very infrequently (if ever) for most of us. -- Shawn. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
