Re: [Tracker] Stale Git branches

Hi
There are nearly 300 remote branches in tracker.git at the moment,
which is way too many for my tiny mind to deal with. Is it OK if I
delete all the branches listed below ? I'll wait 1 month before
deleting anything, so you have time to check this list and reply if
some of these are still important for some reason.

These branches are already merged to master (according to `git branch
--remote --merged):

   origin/compilation-warnings

Is this one in master?

Clearly, we shouldn't remove this :)

I'm guessing that some of these branches *are* still important, please
let me know which ones, or (better) rebase them and push before 8th
September.

I will check the age of each branch again before deleting, and i won't
do this if someone thinks i'm being a bit forceful here... but i hope
others agree that it's important to have a managable number of
branches in tracker.git.


I agree. I did the same thing some years back.
I have no problem with you going forward with this.
My main concern is, I won't think we should remove the 'tracker-XX.XX' branches, even the old ones. These are actually historically useful. I don't have a real reason other than that, but keeping those around should be a small overhead (if any). 

Thanks for doing this,
