Restore Branches #87

Closed danny-hcs closed 8 years ago

danny-hcs commented 8 years ago

I noticed that after you delete a branch there is an option to restore it. Is there a time limit on being able to restore a branch?

The Restore branch button should remain on the pull request as long as there isn’t another branch with the same name. There’s nothing in Git or GitHub that would block you from re-using an old branch name for new work — simple, short branch names like bugfix or typo get recycled often — but the Restore button won’t work if a new branch exists with the same name.
