I tried, as an experiment, removing refs/heads/pristine-tar and running gitk --all. The pristine-tar branch still showed up because of refs/remotes/origin/pristine-tar. Which can't be done away with AFAICS. (Also, if it did put it in refs/pristine-tar, would the branch be automatically pushed to origin by 'git push' as it is now?) -- see shy jo
