What criss-crossed merging? Newer branches should never be merged into
older ones, so I don't see how any criss-crossing is possible.

Branches are dirt-cheap in git, so dead branches is not a problem. Also,
the only dead branches are supposed to be release branches and very
rarely feature branches, all the rest should be done in private branches
and submitted as pull request.
