[matplotlib-devel] remove old branches
Does anyone protest to removing all of the branches from the main repo except: - master - v1.4.x - v1.4.2-doc Having old branches around can lead to confusion (see https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/3748#issuecomment-61372162).

Re: [matplotlib-devel] remove old branches
Todd, The tags would not go anywhere, just the branches would be removed. The tags are for releases, branches are for active work and there should be no active work on anything but those three branches.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] remove old branches
I think this is reasonable. If anything, I *might* want to keep N+1 branches, but that might be too much. On Sat, Nov 1, 2014 at 12:31 PM, Joel B.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] remove old branches
This is done now. All of the branches were fully merged except for v1.1.x which had a single line change to contents.rst which ended up on the main branch through other means. I have local branches pointing to all of the removed branches so if there is panic about their removal and _everyone_ runs a prune command on the upstream repos we still have this information around. I left rgb2lab_local because there is still an open PR against it, but will go away when we close that PR.
