Deleting refs if you remove from the rebase-todo seems undesirable in
my opinion. It's too easy to use that footgun. It may be a good
feature to be _able_ to delete branches during a rebase, in a similar
manner as updating them, but with a different explicit flag, like d
regs/heads/ or something

I didn't know this feature had been added but I'm very very pleased as
I've wanted it. It doesn't seem to update tags though. That would've
been nice.
