Hi, If someone wants to do something then (s)he had to branch from master branch. I think this is very intuitive for Git users, no ? :-)
>From the list returned from 'git branch -a' I think the ones with 'build' in their name/path can be deleted. For all of them we have tags, for the respective releases. There are some experimental branches (e.g. with 'sandbox' in their name and others) - those should stay there. Someone may revive them some day.
