my favourite sport is getting side-tracked.  i was about to work on
something else when i thought of cleaning some old branches i don't
need:

	% got branch -d split -d gotwebd -d wip/drop-lpanel -d fold-author
	Deleted refs/heads/fold-author: ffcca5c6dc37ddd50a76
	%

hum.

diff belows allows to use multiple -d as arguments to `got branch'.  I
followed `got send' in this case, but now that i write this i'm thinking
if i should have followed `got ref'...
