Some release branches are empty only because they didn't need to be patched after release (and our release process was different). Some are old and even "abandoned", like the first-unicode-implementation, but they serve a useful historical purpose. 2/ Why? Git branches are lightweight and don't really impact the project in any way beyond enumerations. I'm not against getting rid of truly pointless branches, but I'm also not sure what the appeal is. -Sara
