INFORMATION
    git-cleanup provides a simple interface for removing merged and deleted
    refs from both local and remote repositories. By default, git-cleanup will
    never remove a ref if any of the following conditions are met:
        - the ref name is 'master'
        - the ref name exists under a 'git-cleanup.keep' entry in a .gitconfig
          file at the system, user, or local scope.
