The intent of Fossil is to preserve history, not delete it.  Hence, there is
no easy way to delete a branch.

Shunning is intended as an emergency mechanism to remove content that should
have never gotten into the repository in the first place - things such as
wiki or ticket spam.  Shunning is not intended to remove content just
because you think it is obsolete.  Mark it as a mistake, as Tomek suggests
above.  But don't destroy history.
