These branches are in dev's private fork, so I'm pretty confident the devs can manage their own backyard. They also don't have to import every branch from main repo to their private repo, AFAIK. > I think keeping around dead branches does have a cost. It blows up > branch listings significantly.

It has a completion widget there, and I still not sure what is "something" you're looking for there. Is it "PHP-5.6"? It's not hard to find then, you know its name. The issue seems to me getting much more attention than it deserves. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
