Re: [BUG] StGit removed git branch of the same name as StGit branch

I have used StGit (wonderfull tool) to manage patches on git branch 
gitweb/web. Unfortunately, I have named stg branch the same as git 
branch. When removing stg branch (I wanted to remove 
heads/base/gitweb/web) using "stg branch --delete gitweb/web" it 
deleted also git branch when I wanted to remove only the StGit managed 
indicator. Fortunately I was able to recover the branch from reflog, as 
StGit didn't delete reflog with deletion of git branch.

Perhaps that is correct behavior... but certainly unexpected.

I am also a novice who recently started appreciating the
convenience of StGIT.  I _think_ the usage StGIT expect us to
follow is to run "stg clean" to make the series empty, and not
worry about leftover refs/bases/ at all, but I may well be
mistaken.
