Idea: git branchless unsubmit / withdraw / unpublish?

[djzort]

The legit tool has "git publish" and "git unpublish" which push and remove branches from the remote.

It would be handy to compliment the "submit" command with an inverse function which deletes from the upstream. It could be called "unsubmit" or "withdraw" or similar.

I don't think that this would be too complicated, and it would probably make a great "first contribution". 😉

I think that it would be simplest to implement it as a flag for submit (eg submit --delete) instead of as a separate subcommand. Other than that, it should just be a matter of adding a fn delete() to the Forge trait, and implementing that fn for BranchForge. (The other forges can be left as unimplemented!(), initially.) Some other things would need to be updated, like messaging and such, and probably some variable names that maybe assume branches are being created. But my initial hunch is that this would probably be a straightforward feature to implement.
