Hi,

I'm trying to delete a remote branch. I've tried:

$ jgit branch -a
  help
* master
  temp
  origin/master
  origin/branch_to_delete
$ jgit branch -d -r origin/branch_to_delete
Deleted remote branch branch_to_delete
$ jgit push origin :branch_to_delete
To amazon-s3://.jgit@abcd1234/projects/somewhere
 X [no match]        branch_to_delete
$ jgit fetch
 * [new branch]      branch_to_delete -> origin/branch_to_delete

What am I doing wrong? Or does JGit command line currently not support remote branch deletion? (I've searched the forums so apologies if I've missed the answer to this.)

Regards,
VT
