"a branch in Git is simply a lightweight movable pointer to one of these
commits".  So when you delete a branch, you only lose the named pointer to
the commit. Your merge commit shows which commit the keys branch used to
point to:

Thanks for this. I'm less alarmed now :-)

However, I am not happy with gitk (or git log) as a means of seeing what
has happened. Perhaps I am missing something. Yesterday I did discover git
views, but they haven't helped nearly as much as I would have liked.

And where is the search function in gitk?
