Definitely add --prune to "git remote update" to remove branches that
ceased to exist on the remote. In general, I would not run the
mirroring from a real working copy of the repository because AFAICT git
push --mirror will also push local branches. But it doesn't really
matter if everybody is ok with me removing them once I get access.
