Re: [BUG?] git fetch -p -t prunes all non-tag refs

Ben Boeckel [off-list ref] writes:

When the --prune and --tags options are given to git fetch together, all
non-tag refs are pruned because only tags are looked at and when pruning
it appears as if the branches have disappeared and are therefore deleted
locally.

I would call that a bug, and it is not limited to the use of "--tags". For
example, I suspect that

    $ git fetch --prune origin refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master

would prune remote tracking branches for "origin" other than "master".
