Let me share some thoughts on un-prefixed branches that don't seem to be related to a single developer: > Branch dev/guile-v2-work, last commit: > Â Â Â Â XXX reset the locale when building index.html > Â Â Â Â by Antonio Ospite at 2016-11-22, committed at 2020-02-10 plus commit "XXX don't override LANG globally in the build process" > Branch dev/guilev21, last commit: > Â Â Â Â Source_file::init_port: Keep GUILEv2 from redecoding string input > Â Â Â Â by David Kastrup at 2014-09-21, committed at 2016-01-10 ... which is now in master as de9f49055c (and was later replaced by commit 483292eb80). Current master builds and works fine with Guile 2.x (from a correctness perspective), so I think we should delete these. > Branch dev/upc-test-2, last commit: > Â Â Â Â x > Â Â Â Â by David Kastrup at 2013-07-17, committed at 2013-07-17 > > Branch dev/upc-test, last commit: > Â Â Â Â These are all the modifications save those to define-grobs.scm. > Â Â Â Â by Mike Solomon at 2013-07-16, committed at 2013-07-16 I think these two branches were used to debug https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/3385 , see also https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2013-07/msg00153.html Since that is fixed, the branches can be deleted I would say. If nobody objects, I will remove these branches in a few days from both GitLab and Savannah (I still have monthly backups from GitLab, so we won't lose them until I need more space on my backup drive...)
