Re: Stale branches in the canonical repository
Hi Jonas, I believe my dev/lamb/GSoC-2020-final has to stay up for records purposes. dev/lamb/smufl is a fork of that branch which I plan to keep around at least until its changes are successfully integrated into LP. I don't think dev/lamb/GSoC-2020, my original working branch, is necessary anymore, unless we want to keep that for records as well.

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...)

With regard to its value as a contribution, of course these days the code base has very much diverged and I don't think anybody ever checked the design or intent of his last changes to figure out what goal he was working on regarding LilyPond's accidental processing. -- David Kastrup

Re: Stale branches in the canonical repository
Rune's branch is left around as a tribute, I believe. Back in the day (2.10 or so?) he completed a lot of significant work on Lilypond, then died by suicide. I believe that at this time, it would be appropriate to remove Rune' branch. But I am only one person.

Stale branches in the canonical repository
