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. :-)
