I've been staring at this one for a while and I'm probably missing
something obvious. On a clean clone of a private repository, I have a
number of remote branches. Some are pretty old, and I thought I would
do some housekeeping to ditch branches that are no longer in use:

> git branch -a

* master
  origin/HEAD
  origin/adam-sandbox
  origin/base_2
  origin/base_2-adam
  origin/base_2_themes
  origin/master
  origin/sponsors

Say I want to remove origin/base_2-adam, I get this:

> git push origin :refs/heads/base_2-adam

error: cannot delete 'refs/heads/base_2-adam' from packed refs
error: failed to delete refs/heads/base_2-adam
To [EMAIL PROTECTED]:chaupt/xyz_base.git
 ! [remote rejected] base_2-adam (failed to delete)
error: failed to push some refs to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:chaupt/
xyz_base.git'

I'm fuzzy on what this means. Haven't found quite the right doc out
there to give me a pointer. Suggestions?
