I think I share Martin's confusion here - how can you keep a release tag (e.g. 2.2.2) without also keeping the release branch where that tag was created? Yes, the maintenance branches contain a comparatively small number of commits, but they're still the sources of the maintenance release tags. Or is this a case where Mercurial's DAG allows you to handle those old branches as "abandoned" leaves of the DAG in the history of the affected files, with the tags picking out the relevant versions of the files?
