We kept these branches when we (Martin V., Bernhard and me) did the repo repair during our last workshop. We told the team to use rebase to prevent merges between the repaired and the "broken" branches. The idea behind was to not break everybodys checkout right away but to give them the chance to do a rebase and later in time delete the broken branches on github. You can just delete these branches now, as all people should have rebased now. But please tell the team to also delete these branches in their local checkouts or to no longer push them, otherwise they would be recreated with each push. Ciao, Daniel -- J.
