I'm unclear as to how this solves my problem. Consider the following:
$ git remote
a
b
c
$ git branch -a
a
b
c
remotes/a/branch
remotes/b/branch
remotes/c/branch
remotes/d/branch
$ git remote prune d
fatal: 'd' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
$ git remote rm d
error: Could not remove config section 'remote.d'
I would like to get rid of the `remotes/d/branch` entry.
