 Hi.

I seem to have managed to create new remote branches for two of my
 packages. I don't know how it happened - I probably misspelled something
 and didn't notice at the time.

I have tried to figure out how to remove them, but have not been
 successful.

Could I ask for someone to remove them, or tell me the right commands so
 that I can do it myself?

The branches are called "15" and "16" (without the f) in the packages
 globus-io and globus-gridftp-server-control.
