[PATCH V2 2/2] fetch --prune: Run prune before fetching

When we have a remote-tracking branch named "frotz/nitfol" from a previous fetch, and the upstream now has a branch named "frotz". Prior to this patch fetch would fail to remove "frotz/nitfol" with a "git fetch --prune" from the upstream. git would inform the user to use "git remote prune" to fix the problem.

This patch changes the way "fetch --prune" works by moving the pruning operation before the fetching operation. Instead of warning the user of a conflict, it autmatically fixes it.
