Handle case where 'git remote prune' needs to be run
Handle the case when this error occurs:
error: some local refs could not be updated; try running
'git remote prune origin' to remove any old, conflicting branches
This is usually caused by a reference getting changed from a file to a
directory.
For example:
Initially someone creates a branch 'foo' and it is stored as:
.git/refs/remotes/origin/foo
Then later on it is decided to change the layout structure where 'foo'
is a directory with branches below it:
.git/refs/remotes/origin/foo/master
The problem occurs when someone still has
'.git/refs/remotes/origin/foo' on their system and does a repo sync.
When this occurs the error message for needing to do a
'git remote prune origin' occurs.
Now when doing a 'git fetch' if the error message from git says that a
'git remote prune' is needed, it will do the prune and then retry the
fetch.
