Hi,

consider the following situation:

    adg@adghp:~/myrepo$ git branch -a
    * master
      origin/HEAD
      origin/master
      origin/work

I want to remove origin/work from my local repository which is no more existing at the origin. git fetch (or pull) does not help either. However, it disappears when I remove the following line in .git/packed-refs file:

    021a032317425b136b5430c7dead94328996b9d0 refs/remotes/origin/work

Is there command line version to do it?

Regards, Yakup
