How to "close" a branch in Git?
There seem to be many ways.

I wouldn't feel comfortable with removing all files (even if we put
there a "README" about what happened.

Deleting the branch on "origin" won't help a lot, as I think, as if the
next one pushes to it again, it will be re-surrected, won't it?

I think, renaming it to "archive/exim-4.94+fixes" or so would have the
same effect, as soon as someone pushes to "exim-4.94+fixes" again, the
the branch will be there again.

Can we have a branch "read only" in Git? (Using hooks on the repo can do
something like this for sure, but that's not the way I'd like to go.)

Does Git have a special commit which marks this branch as "closed"
and rejects any further commits on this branch?
