I'm daft. I've realised, pruning doesn't remove the ref, it removes one of the hashes in the reflog. I withdraw my comment.

I'd imagined it' as the opposite of a creation.

000000 abcdef branch created abcdef 000000 branch deleted

Which is fine, except that isn't what prune is doing at all.

I think you're right. :-)
