Sorry the question was not clear.

git branch -r -d did exactly what I need. I guess I just didn't know how to ask for it. Another happy discovery.

Using git branch -r -d, I was able to delete my svn-remotes. Now when I run git svn fetch --fetch-all, it appears to fetch only from the remaining branches that I didn't delete. I hope that clarifies it.

thank you!
