body: <p>How can I refresh the list of remote branches in my Visual Studio Team Explorer panel?</p>
  <p>In the Visual Studio 2017 Team Explorer, Branches panel, I could see the 10 or so branches in our VSTS instance.</p>
  <p>Then in Chrome, I deleted some of the older branches and created a new branch.</p>
  <p>Switched back to VS 2017, but the list of <code>remotes/origin</code> branches still shows the old list, and I can't find anyway to refresh it.</p>
  <p>I tried changing to a different repo, the <kbd>F5</kbd> Refresh on the Team Explorer header, I even closed and reopened VS 2017... <em>but nothing refreshes the list to match what VSTS portal shows</em>.</p>
