Great, done that.

Re making a branch, remember we can always go back and do that should the 
necessity arise, even if the “master” pointer has moved past it.

I'm fine with deleting the following branches from PDL code:

  cpan_2.006_release
  cpan_2.007_04
  cpan_2.007_release
  release_2.4.10

We can always generate a real branch at the release tag
if maintenance is needed for a release separate from the
on-going development.

  Hi PDL devs,

  Looking at this: https://github.com/PDLPorters/pdl/branches

  Shows that these branches, having “0” on the right side of the little graphs, 
don’t ADD any commits:
  * cpan_2.007_release
  * release_2.4.10

  They appear to be in fact doing what a tag does, which is mark a point in 
time, and literally nothing else. Since there are perfectly good tags pointing 
at those points, does anyone object if I just delete those branches?

  On a similar note, this branch adds commits to recreate 2.007_04, almost:
  * cpan_2.007_04

  As the author of the only commits on that branch, and given all the relevant 
commits are reflected in 2.007_05 et seq, I want to delete this one too as 
pointless. Any objections?

  Finally, this branch looks like a small git error:
  * cpan_2.006_release

  It features a merge of two commits on top of what is tagged as the actual 
2.006 release, which *are not* in 2.006, and *are* reflected in commit 
4af8e15a2aec78f388bd96021395d51ab35e2192 the next day (which is on master). 
Therefore, this branch serves no purpose and I want to delete it too. Craig, 
any objections?

  Best regards,
  Ed
