Hi there,
I'd like to clean up our branches in git on the main couchdb repo. This
would involve deleting some of our obsolete branches, after tagging the
final revision on each branch. This way, we retain the history but the
branch no longer appears in the dropdown on GitHub, or in git branch
listings at the cli.
Example process:
git tag archive/1.3.x 1.3.x
git branch -d 1.3.x
git push origin :1.3.x
git push --tags
If we ever needed the branch back, we just:
git checkout -b 1.3.x archive/1.3.x
I would propose to do this for all branches except:
main
master (for now)
2.3.x
3.x
prototype/fdb-layer
...plus any branches that have been touched in the past 90 days, that
still have open PRs, or that someone specifically asks me to retain in
this thread.
I'd also like to do this on couchdb-documentation and couchdb-fauxton.
I would propose to do this about 1 week from now, let's say on October 15th.
Thoughts?
