Subject: [PATCH 3/3 v2] Make "git-remote rm" delete refs acccording to fetch specs

From: "Shawn O. Pearce" <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 1 Jun 2008 00:28:04 -0400

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.

To avoid deleting refs used by another remote we only clear refs
that are unique to this remote.  This prevents `git prune rm alt`
from removing the refs used by say origin if alt was just using a
different URL for the same repository.

 This is a longer, but better version of this patch.  Instead of
 blindly deleting the refs we remove them only if this is the last
 remote that would write to the local tracking ref.
