The git module does not appear ever to prune obsolete remote branches in the srcdir repository, leading to spurious errors when fetching.

Pruning remote branches can be done automatically with the --prune option to "git fetch" or in a separate command "git remote prune".

I'll need more information than that before I add extra processing work to the current git commands it uses. I don't see any errors here from obsolete remote branches. --[[Joey]]
