That's generally what you'd do for a central repo, yes. But:

Yes, in the current environment, the easiest thing to do is to just remove those branches.

OR, alternatively, just keep them, but on machine B, make your .git/config file have something like

	[remote "origin"]
		url = ssh://aturner@svn.mintpixels.com/data/git/mls
		fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
		push = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*

which should just make it clear to "git push" than when you push from B to "origin", you should push everything under "refs/heads" (assuming that's what you want, of course)-
