Hello, I want to get rid of origin/pu remote tracking branch. What do I do? I RTFM git-branch. What does it suggest? git branch -d -r origin/pu So far so good. However, it doesn't seem to work in practice: $ git --version git version 1.5.3.4 $ git remote show origin * remote origin URL: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git Remote branch(es) merged with 'git pull' while on branch master master Tracked remote branches html maint man master next pu todo $ git branch -d -r origin/pu Deleted remote branch origin/pu. $ git remote show origin * remote origin URL: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git Remote branch(es) merged with 'git pull' while on branch master master New remote branches (next fetch will store in remotes/origin) pu ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What??? Tracked remote branches html maint man master next todo $ git fetch remote: Generating pack... remote: Done counting 422 objects. Result has 281 objects. remote: Deltifying 281 objects... remote: 100% (281/281) done Indexing 281 objects... remote: Total 281 (delta 206), reused 255 (delta 181) 100% (281/281) done Resolving 206 deltas... 100% (206/206) done 63 objects were added to complete this thin pack. * refs/remotes/origin/pu: storing branch 'pu' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git commit: fc07419 $ git remote show origin * remote origin URL: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git Remote branch(es) merged with 'git pull' while on branch master master Tracked remote branches html maint man master next pu todo $ ... and I get those origin/pu back?!
