We should be extremely careful to not remove a branch which is still being used. Think, for instance, about features branches like `network-ng` in yast2-network. Not to mention the branches of those people who (like me) do not use a fork to create a PR, but a branch in the original repo. In other cases, we could have some PoC in a separate branch which has not been updated in a while. We can discuss whether we should use branches in upstream repos to create our own PRs or not (I do, but I am open to discussion). Thinking aloud, I guess we could try to get a list of unexpected branches and a responsible for each of them to check whether they are still needed or not. BTW, nice Hack Week project :) Regards, Imo -- Imobach González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE LINUX GmbH https://imobachgs.github.io/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
