Instead of outright deleting old branches, it would be possible to set up an "archive" repository which mirrors all branches of the main repository. And then delete "obsolete" branches only from the main repository. Ideally, you would want a git hook to refuse to create a new branch (in the main repository) if a branch by that name already exists in the archive repository. Possibly with the exception that creating a same-named branch on the same commit would be allowed. (And the same for tags, of course) eirik _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
