builtin-remote: make rm operation safer in mirrored repository
"git remote rm <repo>" happily removes non-remote refs and their reflogs. This may be okay if the repository truely is a mirror, but if the user had done "git remote add --mirror <repo>" by accident and was just undoing their mistake, then they are left in a situation that is difficult to recover from. After this commit, "git remote rm" skips over non-remote refs. The user is advised on how remove branches using "git branch -d", which itself has nice safety checks wrt to branch removal lacking from "git remote rm". Non-remote non-branch refs are skipped silently. Signed-off-by: Jay Soffian <jaysoffian@gmail.com> Acked-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
