How can I make git-svn get rid of remote branches that don't exist anymore?

Question

Is there a handy way to get my local git repo to forget about remote branches that have been deleted? git svn fetch doesn\'t \"re-sync everything\" like I hoped it

Answer 1

You can remove orphaned remote branches by executing the following commands:

git branch -d -r my_branch
rm -rf .git/svn/refs/remotes/my_branch

To remove all orphaned branches at once rather than one at a time, see the answer here.
