And here is an attempt to do so. Only lightly tested...
Whenever I say "only lightly tested", I am hoping that
interested people on the list to test it and possibly
enhance it with follow-up patches. Or at least respond
with "Hey, that sucks" or "Ok, it seems to work for your
test case but here is a breakage".

[PATCH] Allow git push to delete remote ref.
This allows you to say
git send-pack $URL :refs/heads/$branch
to delete the named remote branch. The refspec $src:$dst means
replace the destination ref with the object known as $src on the
local side, so this is a natural extension to make an empty $src
mean "No object" to delete the target.
