I somehow created a redundant branch with an extra "origin/" in it, so I 
deleted that as so:

thufir@dur:~/NetBeansProjects/USENET$ 
thufir@dur:~/NetBeansProjects/USENET$ git push origin 
:origin/4.GUI_loading_messages_slowlyTo g...@github.com:THUFIR/USENET.git
 - [deleted]         origin/4.GUI_loading_messages_slowly
thufir@dur:~/NetBeansProjects/USENET$ git push origin :master
remote: error: refusing to delete the current branch: refs/heads/master
To g...@github.com:THUFIR/USENET.git
 ! [remote rejected] master (deletion of the current branch prohibited)
error: failed to push some refs to 'g...@github.com:THUFIR/USENET.git'
thufir@dur:~/NetBeansProjects/USENET$ 
thufir@dur:~/NetBeansProjects/USENET$ git branch -a
* master
  remotes/origin/1.FetchBean_CLI
  remotes/origin/2.some_GUI
  remotes/origin/3.messageId__string
  remotes/origin/4.GUI_loading_messages_slowly
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  remotes/origin/master
thufir@dur:~/NetBeansProjects/USENET$ 


Now, I would actually like to delete the master branch, as above with the 
other branch.  Is that forbidden?
