yeah, that's true enough. Deleting things isn't one of git's big
plusses.

That's certainly true; 'origin' is mapped from 'master' in the default
remotes configuration, take a look at .git/remotes/origin. In this file,
remote heads are mapped to local names so you can have a local 'master'
branch and also track the remote 'master' as it gets remapped to
'origin'. 

However, the extraneous remote head is harmless as this same
configuration says that you would never even try to fetch the remote
'origin' branch -- only the branches listed in the remotes file are
fetched, so the remote 'origin' branch will never appear in your local
repository unless you added a line to that remotes file to request it.
