Thanks for asking :) I was just going to do:
git push origin --delete branch_5x (Instead of the crazy all-powerful-colon syntax). This just removes the "pointer" (branch_5x) to the latest commit hash right? The commits unique to that branch still remain unless we ask git to reclaim them? Or does git reclaim un-referenced nodes on its own sometimes...?
