Dev: purging stale release branches
shadowspawn opened this issue · comments

I have been creating release branches for each major version and not deleting them. e.g. release/9.x
My original thinking was the branches might be useful for back porting bug or security fixes. In practice that rarely happens and I don't keep the branches up to date as subsequent releases occur. So the branches are mostly stale and potentially misleading. It is easy to (re-)create a branch when needed.
I plan to delete the release/
branches for versions 3.x–10.x.
