We currently have more than 200 branches in the MariaDB Server github repo, most of which look like they are no longer used. I would like to remove the unused ones to remove clutter. Eg. in `git branch -la` or the drop-downs on the github webpage. Below is a list of a little less than two-thirds of the branches that I determined to be probably unused. I was fairly conservative in my criteria, ie. if there was reasonable doubt, I omitted a branch from the list to delete. Please take a look at the list and see if there is any branch that should _not_ be deleted from the github repository. Or if someone objects to deleting anything on principle grounds, let me know as well, of course. (I Cc'ed people that were the last to commit on a branch to be deleted). Note that if one of these branches should become needed again later, eg. some bb-XXX branch not used for a long time, there is no problem re-creating it. The only problem with removing a branch should be if it contains contents that will be needed in the future, and which is not available anywhere else (and I tried to avoid putting such branches on the list in the first place). Also note that once these are deleted, a simple `git pull` will not remove them from the local clone. The `git fetch --prune` can be used to effect this. If there are no objections, I will do the deletions in two weeks. - Kristian. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- These branches have not been updated for a long time, and looked like they were not used any more.
