+1 I think we can easily cleanup all branches that are 6+ months older.

Of course the release branches of old releases should stay, but a lot of old branches have been merged at unknown places in the master or old release branches. I want to propose to delete them as much as possible. - I want to delete any branch that has no commits newer then one year old - I want to ask the last commiter on any branch with commits newer then one year to review if 'their' branch can be removed - All branches that are merged back are to remain untouched. ideally only the branches 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and master will remain as branches HEAD. This is unfortunately not true for some older releases that were never merged back into their respective release branches. Any work in progress will of course not be touched. comments? Nope, a good idea. We should remove old branches. I'd say that everything over 6 months is also old.
