This website showed an interesting command, in the output git gives a hint
how to remove a stale.
My first attempt failed, second attempt was successfull:
E:\SourceCode\PascalCoinGit\PascalCoin>git remote prune origin/master
fatal: 'origin/master' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal:
Another one in here:
E:\SourceCode\PascalCoinGit\PascalCoin\.git\logs\refs\remotes\origin
I will try rename both to see what happens
Now didn't help much, I renamed both to originalmaster and then branch -r
showed:
origin/master
origin/originalmaster
So renamed them back to master... hmmm...
I tried moving this master file elsewhere it had some effect on the graph
but even after moving
git branch -r
still shows it...
so there is more to it...
The hash pointed to some merge of remote/master into master
and then there are some more commits like that.
I will check other git files to
Also I see this file
master
in
E:\SourceCode\PascalCoinGit\PascalCoin\.git\refs\remotes\origin
Perhaps delete this file to get rid of it ? Is this safe ? :)
There seems to be some hash inside of it.
Bye,

Just to be clear the local master branch was also renamed to SkybuckMaster.
But origin/master still shows up ?
Kinda strange ?
Any explanation why this is and if it can be completely removed ?
(Maybe destroying old commits might allow to do that, but if it's possible
to do without
