OK, but with a later pattern, we can find out that it came from pull/5
that was advertised by the remote.  If we had origin/pr/1 when the
remote no longer has pull/1, then we can say that is stale.

Makes sense.  Thanks for an explanation.

I wonder how well --prune would work on a repository in pre 1.5
layout, where all branches were copied to local refs/heads/
hierarchy except for 'master' (which is renamed to 'origin').  Does
it have a similar issue?  Do we end up pruning refs/heads/origin
away because we do not see it on the remote end, or we somehow
already deal with it and not have to worry about it?
