Somehow I ended up with the following in my ~/.gitconfig:
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = master
rebase = true
I assume something went crazy while I was running the git.git tests
some time ago, and that I never noticed until now.
This is not a good configuration, but it shouldn't cause problems. But
it does. Specifically, if you have this in your config, and you
perform the following set of actions:
create a remote
fetch from that remote
create a branch off of the remote master branch called "master"
delete the branch
delete the remote
The remote delete fails with the message "Could not find key
'branch.master.rebase' to delete". This is because it's iterating over
the config entries (including the ones in the global config) and
believes that there is a master branch which must therefore have these
config keys.
