You can recreate any branch at any time. Nothing will be lost.

Nothing will be deleted at all.
Branches that are dead or unused will be tagged and the branch will be 
removed.

Note:
In git a branch is a reference to a commit. Same for tags.
The difference: A branch is moving (updated with each commit, thus tracking 
work-in-progress) and a tag is static.

No repo, commit or line of code will be deleted.
Just some branches are switched to tags.

And if you need to work on such a tagged tree again in the future, you can 
recreate the branch anytime to indicate that there is work going on in this 
tree.

That is what all this is about. Its about to create tags.
