I think I did my best to try to do that (basing my attempts on current
git documentation). Isn't it?

Yes, but the question is *why*? Isn't it an obvious application of
deleting tracking branch? And, as I've already asked in another
sub-thread of this one, what the following example in the man git-branch
is supposed to achieve?:
<quote Documentation/git-branch.txt>
Delete unneeded branch::
+
------------
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/.../git.git my.git
$ cd my.git
$ git branch -d -r origin/todo origin/html origin/man <1>
$ git branch -D test <2>
------------
+
<1> Delete remote-tracking branches "todo", "html", "man"
</quote>
Sorry, but I still believe that it's not me who needs fixing.
