If you are disconnected, would it fail gracefully without
removing stuff?  From a cursory look it should, but just making
sure.

Indeed, it crashes out:
 
	$ ./git-remote prune cs-src
	ssh: host.that.exists: No address associated with nodename
	fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
	ls-remote --heads cs:sw/src/git: command returned error: 1
	[git (sp/remote)]$ ls .git/refs/remotes/cs-src/
	.       ..      master

and the refs are still safe.
