Description Dmitry V. Levin 2021-06-21 01:21:36 MSK

We need a admin/branch-remove.howto file documenting branch removal,
similar to admin/branch-clone.howto file documenting branch creation.

Comment 1 Dmitry V. Levin 2021-06-21 03:41:11 MSK

This documentation is needed now to actually remove old branches.

We might need to separately document how to stop branch processing which is the first step of branch removal.

I propose to use different term for this action -- retire/retirement because we are not planning (not yet, at least) to remove old branches completely, we just want to remove heaviest parts of them.
