Cleaning of branches

[Neustradamus]

Dear @ipasimulator team, @jjonescz,

It is possible to remove merged branches?

• https://github.com/ipasimulator/ipasim/branches/all

Thanks in advance.

Hm, I'm curious why you are interested in that? Do old branches cause some issues?

Even merged branches might provide some info - they are effectively tagging commits (for example where development of one feature ended - in particular because this repo didn't use PRs for that previously as I was the only developer) - I could perhaps convert those old branches to tags, though, or just note the branch names and corresponding commit hashes somewhere.

A lot of branches...

Tags are here:

A lot of branches...

They are all very old and effectively abandoned now, so feel free to just ignore them 😀. Except master where the occasional updates happen.

When there's more development in this repo and we use more branches, surely we can delete the old ones then.

Maybe you can do a cleaning, it is my original request...

@jjonescz: Thanks :)

Do not hesitate to create a fork in your personal account and use it before merging in develop or master upstream ^^
