This series teaches "jgit fetch" how to prune stale tracking branches
that have been removed from the remote repository.  We can now do
both a fetch and a prune in a single network connection.

I am not sure if that is a good feature.

The user at the local side may well be using the (now stale) tracking
branch as an achoring point to remember where his own development forked
from, and that may be the reason he is fetching but not running "remote
prune", not to lose that anchor.

Well.

Its off by default.

You have to ask for it with "jgit fetch --prune origin".

Ok, then.  Sorry for the noise.
