Running the simple command `git fetch --prune --tags origin` will delete every single remote branch refs/remotes/origin/*, with the sole exception of refs/remotes/origin/HEAD. This is wildly unexpected behavior. This was reproduced on the tip of the next branch, with version git version 1.7.2.2.440.g49ea7. > git fetch --prune --tags origin x [deleted] (none) -> origin/ahaney/login_problem_debug x [deleted] (none) -> origin/ahaney/tocfixes x [deleted] (none) -> origin/develop (refs/remotes/origin/HEAD has become dangling) x [deleted] (none) -> origin/jon/contentupdates x [deleted] (none) -> origin/jon/ingest_safety x [deleted] (none) -> origin/jon/overview x [deleted] (none) -> origin/master x [deleted] (none) -> origin/v1_rejection/plan_a > git fetch origin From [redacted] * [new branch] ahaney/login_problem_debug -> origin/ahaney/login_problem_debug * [new branch] ahaney/tocfixes -> origin/ahaney/tocfixes * [new branch] develop -> origin/develop * [new branch] jon/contentupdates -> origin/jon/contentupdates * [new branch] jon/ingest_safety -> origin/jon/ingest_safety * [new branch] jon/overview -> origin/jon/overview * [new branch] master -> origin/master * [new branch] v1_rejection/plan_a -> origin/v1_rejection/plan_a -Kevin Ballard-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo <at> vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
