So, I've been hit badly by this, any news on a proper fix?

In the interim, it would be good even to know a work-around. I was
foolish enough to remove the remote branch after having issued a "tg
delete" and now my repository at
http://git.ocamlcore.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=batteries/batteries.git;a=summary
is screwed, when I do a remote populate I get the following

 $ tg remote --populate origin
 tg: Remote origin can now follow TopGit topic branches.
 tg: Populating local topic branches from remote 'origin'...
 tg: Skipping branch debian/missing-doc: Already exists
 tg: Adding branch features/flexi-build...
 fatal: ambiguous argument 'origin/features/flexi-build': unknown
 revision or path not in the working tree.
 Use '--' to separate paths from revisions
 fatal: origin/features/flexi-build: not a valid SHA1
 tg: The remote 'origin' is now the default source of topic branches.

I've no fscking idea of where topgit on the remote repo has stored the
"features/flexi-build" name. It is not in any .topdeps AFAIK. I would
be happy with whatever hack that make topgit forget forever that
branch name because it is not there anymore.

Any suggested hack would be appreciated.
Cheers.
