Cannot delete weirdly named branch

Hi,

I am a new user to git and I found an interesting behavior in git. I
am not sure if this is a bug, but I thought I would report this
anyway!

So I can create a local branch called "--tracking" like this:
git checkout -b --tracking origin/somebranch
I messed up the syntax while trying to create a tracking branch, but
this resulted in a local branch called "--tracking".

Now I cannot delete this branch. Running:
git branch -d --tracking
gives an error: unknown option `tracking'

Using quotes around the name does not help. Is there another command I
can use to delete this branch?

Thank you!
