Removing a remote does not delete local branches #2512

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Click Settings, remote, right click a remote -> Remove
2. Note that the local branches are not removed from any dialog (fetch, log, 
branches etc)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The old remotes branches and existence should be removed.

What version of TortoiseGit and msysgit are you using? On
what operating system?

1.8.12

Please provide any additional information below.

Please try 1.8.14.0. Thank you. :)

When you say "local branches" in your step 2 or "remotes branches", are they 
remote-tracking branch ("origin/xxx")?

Is this already fixed in 1.8.14?

Let me explain it better. You remove a remote. Go to .git/refs/remotes/. The 
remotes are still there.

Rename remote only differ in case?

Besides checking.git/refs/remotes/,
please also check .git/packed-refs

Yes, there is a problem with case. I remember logging a bug about case handling 
in remote names a few years ago, but I don't think we found it or solved it.

From a quick look:

lowercase remotes are successfully removed from .git/packed-refs, but stay in 
.git/refs/remotes. 

UPPERCASE or CamelCase remotes are not removed from packed refs or remotes.

This is a msysgit problem.

ATM, You may edit .git/packed-refs to delete the problematic refs.
