Description
It would be nice to have some branch management utilities including the following:
- list branches which are local but not on remote
git branches --missing <remote> - list branches which are on remote but not local
git branches --missing-from <remote> - delete branches which are not on remote
git branches --missing <remote> --delete - delete branches on remote which are not local
git branches --missing-from <remote> --delete
Most of the commands necessary for this are discussed http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7726949/remove-branches-no-longer-on-remote
