Well, you say that... I've just been poring over the git documentation
and I don't see any command that will let me delete a head that's
supposed to exist in my local repo but not on the server. In fact it's
hard for me to imagine git permitting me to delete anything off the
server.

I did find confirmation that the remote repo isn't supposed to contain
origin:

$ git-ls-remote --heads git+ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/xcb
3af0b6d507c0759f3f441d8d76f4881c91224e31        refs/heads/master
e1536d6d8b1743c48182dfbbd5e1838395856ed3        refs/heads/origin
b8e918f567081c689493c5ad6c174f3477688ff6        refs/heads/xspec
$ git-ls-remote --heads git+ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/cairo
a5d13b472936b040755dd30624528cb7c6f52c73        refs/heads/1.0
5d89faf6b37bb0367c8ba8f8637fc80bd745c888        refs/heads/master
e2855502f2f2e701b96a2a7eee4cda8c374bcbb9        refs/heads/ps-surface
af2cf45e8f2db7198eb28c24cfa7a463a68d5c56        refs/heads/surface-internals

But all my local repos do contain origin, and that seems normal.

Would you mind either clarifying your instructions or just fixing the
server again? Thanks...
