Hi Everyone,

We have a branch called arm-neon. It was used for the BLAKE2 NEON and ARMv8 
CRC implementations. I intended to keep it around for ARMv8 Crypto 
extensions.

Alas, Git is broken and it appears impossible to use a development branch 
as expected. "As expected" includes things like maintaining accurate logs. 
And its impossible to re-use a development branch because w can't seem to 
sync the development branch with master while maintaining log integrity. 
Also see 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37826188/how-to-generate-a-log-entry-on-master-when-creating-and-deleting-a-dev-branch
 
and 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37892110/how-to-clear-this-branch-is-n-commits-ahead-of-master.

I think we should just delete the arm-neon branch to solve the immediate 
Git problems.

Looking forward, its not clear to me how to solve the general Git problems. 
I'm fairly certain development branches are completely broken under Git. As 
a stop gap, I can run separate local clones for each feature, but I can't 
share them because GitHub is not setup that way (I can only perform one 
clone). This is what I did in the past, and this is what some developers in 
other projects do, like OpenSSL.
