     19The usual culture with Git is to delete feature branch references as soon as
     20they are merged to some other branch.
     21This approach is also recommended for Boost developers.
     22After all, the merged-to branch
     23keeps the commit history alive and there's no longer any need to keep
     24the old label around.  If you delete a branch without merging it, of
     25course, any commit history exclusively referenced by that branch is
     26lost.
