It looks like there are already issues for versioning the
lesson-template [1] and downstream lessons [2].

If you aren't comfortable with the size increase, you can just delete
the branch she created.  The PRs (swcarpentry/git-novice#62 and
swcarpentry/git-novice#64) will still have her branch.  It will also
live in her repository unless she decides to delete it there.  Even if
you delete the branches from both swcarpentry/git-novice and
daisieh/git-novice, I think GitHub keeps copies of the branch for the
pull requests (but someone may want to check that).  The only
difficulty in that case would be if Daisie recycled her ‘ubc-wis’
branch name and pushed other content to it (which GitHub would
interpret as updating #62 and #64).

Cheers,
Trevor
