I'm done from android-api branch.
We can close this branch.

Hi,

In general I like to see history preserved in SCM, especially when it comes
to tracking things like cross-platform changes. Might it be sufficient to
just lock the branch and not delete it completely?

Deleting a branch from Git after it has been pushed publicly might present
certain issues (though removing a commit definitely does). It starts to
head off into areas similar to using the 'obliterate' command in Perforce
(hint: that one should be an extreme exception to common practice).

I seem to recall that a pre or post commit hook might do the job of
preventing further changes.
