Hello internals Recently, while checking some branches, I’ve noticed that we have really old branches out there in php-src: 15+ years old: - experimental/RETURN_REF - experimetnal/RETURN_REF_PATCH - experimental/pre_new_hash_func - experimental/zts_stdc_scanners - experimental/rand_redesign - migration/EXPERIMENTAL - experimental/namespaces - migration/unlabaled-1.67.2 - experimental/ZendEngine2 - experimental/apache_hooks - experimental/apache_hooks - migration/unlabaled-1.3.2 10+ years old: - migration/unlabaled-1.29.2 - migration/INITIAL - migration/sqlite-start Not even 5 years old, but no commit: - str_size_and_int64_56_backport - native-tls - zend-signal-zts Not even 2 years old, but no commit: - microseconds Do we keep them for a reason, like history, or we should delete, remaining just the versions branches?

In my opinion, it would be sensible to delete all useless branches, i.e. those which are completely stale, or have no commit.
