I deleted one (removed it directly from the file because a git branch -d 
didn't want to work).

git svn dcommit -n gives me a series of warnings all similar to:
W: Refspec glob conflict (ref: refs/remotes/sx-fixes):
expected path: gnucash/branches/sx-fixes
    real path: gnucash/gnucash/branches/sx-fixes
Continuing ahead with gnucash/gnucash/branches/sx-fixes

But each time for different paths.

Removing the line from the packed-refs file does remove the tag-branch from 
the branch list though. I have removed all the fake tag-branches in this way 
now, but the dcommit warnings don't go away.

What are these about ?
