Thanks, Hazen, for completing this branch archiving (removal of
branch, but addition of corresponding archive/* tag) for our SF repo.

For others here, to propagate the branch deletions
to the remote tracking branches of your local repo use the --prune
option on the git fetch command just once, e.g.,

software@raven> git fetch --prune

The net result should be

software@raven> git branch --all
   * master
   remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
   remotes/origin/master

plus any local topic branches you are currently working on.

The above git fetch command and subsequent ff-only merge of
origin/master into master also propagates the new archive* tags
that Hazen set up corresponding to each of the deleted branches from
our SF repo to your local repo.

To see what those archived branches correspond to, you can use ,e.g.,

git log --name-status archive/tea |less

and similarly for other archived branches of historical interest.

Thanks, Hazen, for making this all possible.
