Fetching the github pull-request branches works fine, but there seems to be no 
way to delete them:

  [mcb30@dolphin src (master)]$ git fetch github -p
  From github.com:ipxe/ipxe
   * [new branch]      refs/pull/1/head -> github/pr/1
   * [new branch]      refs/pull/2/head -> github/pr/2
   * [new branch]      refs/pull/3/head -> github/pr/3
   * [new branch]      refs/pull/4/head -> github/pr/4
   * [new branch]      refs/pull/5/head -> github/pr/5
   * [new branch]      refs/pull/6/head -> github/pr/6
   * [new branch]      refs/pull/7/head -> github/pr/7
   * [new branch]      master     -> github/master
  [mcb30@dolphin src (master)]$ git push github :pr/1
  error: unable to push to unqualified destination: pr/1
  The destination refspec neither matches an existing ref on the remote nor
  begins with refs/, and we are unable to guess a prefix based on the source
  ref.
  error: failed to push some refs to 'g...@github.com:ipxe/ipxe.git'

it seems as though this might just not be supported by github.
