I think I'm a little confused. Is it possible to delete branches on a
fetch? It looks like remote's --mirror option just specifies "don't use
separate remote layout". So again, there is no way to blow away reflogs
through a fetch.

OTOH, if you are using non-separate-remote layout, I think it makes
sense to _not_ have the "+". OTOOH, when you call the option --mirror,
it makes me think of "push --mirror" which implies "+".
