hi!
I created a remote branch by doing
$ git push origin mynewbranch
I done some work on mynewbranch, commited, pushed changes to origin,
merged it to master and pushed to origin and deleted the mynewbranch
localy because I don't need it anymore
now I want to "undo" the git push origin mynewbranch ie remotely
delete the branch from the repository
I tried git push --mirror but it deleted all remote branches that I
didn't worked on... I don't want to have it be a mirror... but
something like
$ git branch -r -d origin/mynewbranch
$ git push
   ---> deleting origin/mynewbranch

how shall I do that? thanks JLM
