[Bug 1321836] Re: "git remote remove" does not always remove remote branches

[Rolf Leggewie]

I don't think I've ever used that command.  I am not aware of what it
does and "history|grep set" does not show any reference to it.  I also
do not think I've tinkered with the config file in the way you
mentioned.  These days .git/config has no more reference to jussieu.

Title:
  "git remote remove" does not always remove remote branches

Status in “git” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In my local polipo git directory I remove an old entry to where
  upstream was doing the work (can't remember the URL, upstream now
  hosts on github).  The command I used was "git remote remove jussieu"
  and that went fine.  Yet, I still have all remote branches listed in
  "git branch -av".

  $ git branch -av|grep jus
    remotes/jussieu/1.0.4-branch  12b9179 Don't revalidate objects >= CHUNK_SIZE that aren't in disk cache.
    remotes/jussieu/master        ec4d638 Cache to disk even when "HTTP://" scheme is uppercase
    remotes/jussieu/polipo-chrisd b92db57 Add -fno-strict-aliasing to prevent compile warnings on some systems.

  This is on a trusty installation with git 1:1.9.1-1.
