Description Manuel Doninger CLA 2011-09-09 08:51:37 EDT 
It would be nice if there is a button in the popup menu in the repositories view to delete references like ORIG_HEAD or FETCH_HEAD etc.
Comment 1 Matthias Sohn CLA 2011-09-13 12:01:20 EDT 
What are the use cases why you want to delete them ?
Comment 2 Markus Keller CLA 2011-09-27 12:56:11 EDT 
I first also wanted to request this, but after some googling and understanding where this is coming from, I now think it's futile to fight against references that are automatically created by some git commands (e.g. a rebase will create ORIG_HEAD).

But it would be nice to have a way to filter some references from the History view, see bug 359111.

filtering additional refs was implemented long ago, reachable via the view menu Show > Additional refs in the history view
