Hi, Doing the following commands: $ git config fetch.prune true $ git co -b bug/bug-1 Switched to a new branch 'bug/bug-1' $ touch bugfix $ git add . $ git commit -a $ git push --set-upstream origin bug/bug-1 Counting objects: 2, done. Delta compression using up to 8 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done. Writing objects: 100% (2/2), 242 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done. Total 2 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0) To git@xxxxxxxxxx:petervanderdoes/Testing.git * [new branch] bug/bug-1 -> bug/bug-1 Branch bug/bug-1 set up to track remote branch bug/bug-1 from origin. $ git fetch origin bug/bug-1:refs/remotes/origin/bug/bug-1 >From github.com:petervanderdoes/Testing x [deleted] (none) -> origin/bug/bug-1 $ git branch -r origin/master $ git branch * bug/bug-1 master The branch still exists on the remote repository. Is it correct that the git fetch deletes the remote reference?
