Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Make "git-remote rm" delete refs acccording to fetch specs

From: "Shawn O. Pearce" <[email-masked]>

A remote may be configured to fetch into tracking branches that
don't match its name.  A user may have created a remote by hand
that will fetch to a different tracking branch namespace:

  [remote "alt"]
    url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git
    fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

When deleting remote alt we should clean up the refs whose names
start with "refs/remotes/origin/", even though the remote itself
was named alt by the user.

 I'm not sure this is the right thing to do here.  If another
 remote is still using these tracking refs (such as the example
 in my prior patch of this series) we may not want to remove these
 when we remove the remote.
