[reSIProcate] Cleaning up old branches


Subversion provides a nice way to end-of-life branches;  svn delete removes a branch, but the branch is still available at repository revisions pre-branch removal.  See  http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/svn-book.html#svn-ch-4-sect-7

 

Jason & have removed our development branches, but there are lots of branches that look defunct in the repository.  Could everyone remove branches they are no longer using?  I also propose that we delete any branches that haven’t been used within a year.  Again, no information is lost, but it makes browsing/checking out the whole repository much nicer.

PS – how about march 28th as the ‘remove >1 year old branches day’
