This is not _precicisely correct_; it works fine if config is not a local branch; try

        cd ~/.nmbug && git branch -D config && git show-ref -s config

I'm not sure if it matters, it won't hurt for the user to create a local
branch, but maybe you can think of a better wording. And also an easy
way to test this, since deleting the local config branch is not enough.
