Try $ git branch -d origin/u/embray/python3/sage-rings-polynomial-polydict
You wouldn't have the above branch without "origin" unless you created a remote tracking branch. It's only remote branches which you're having a problem with (note: this happened because I had an older branch named u/embray/python3/sage-rings-polynomial-polydict, which I deleted, but then I added a new branch called ...polydict/misc, and git gets ornery about cases like that). Also, if I were you, I'd update my remote refspec to only fetch your own branches. E.g., I only sync my branches by default like [remote "origin"] url = g...@git.sagemath.org:sage.git fetch = +refs/heads/u/embray/*:refs/remotes/u/embray In the (typically less common) case where you want to fetch someone else's branch you can still give the branch name manually with the `git fetch` command.
