Subject: Remote reference deleted on git fetch

Hi,
I have enabled fetch.prune and when I do a push of an existing branch
and fetch that branch the remote reference is deleted. Is this a bug or
expected behavior?
Doing the following commands on an existing repository:
$ git config fetch.prune true
$ git checkout -b bug/bug-1
Switched to a new branch 'bug/bug-1'
$ touch bugfix
$ git add .
$ git commit -a
$ git push --set-upstream origin bug/bug-1

To git@github•com:petervanderdoes/Testing.git
* [new branch] bug/bug-1 -> bug/bug-1
Branch bug/bug-1 set up to track remote branch bug/bug-1 from origin.
$ git fetch origin bug/bug-1:refs/remotes/origin/bug/bug-1
>From github.com:petervanderdoes/Testing
x [deleted] (none) -> origin/bug/bug-1
$ git branch -r
origin/master
$ git branch
* bug/bug-1
master
The branch still exists on the remote repository.
Is it correct that the git fetch deletes the remote reference?
Peter
