You cannot know what to remove locally that the remote no longer advertises without querying the remote. So "prune -n" is nonsense and should issue an error. "prune --dry-run" is different and means "query, show what you would delete, but don't actually delete". Likewise "show --dry-run" is nonsense. What does it mean to show what would show without showing it? Just show it. :) -- Shawn. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
