Hi,
we RMs started using the release branches (PHP-X.Y.Z) a while ago and we
push those so that the we can work together easier when preparing/syncing
the releases.
As those branches are meaningless for the general public I would propose
updating our current release process (
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/README.RELEASE_PROCESS)
so that
when we create a new release branch (PHP-X.Y.Z) we also remove the old
release branch (PHP-X.Y.Z-1).
(we could even remove it after tagging the final, but in the past we had a
couple of re-tags, so it is easier to just remove when creating the release
branch for the next version).
I would also propose removing all of the old release branches for now(only
keeping the last one for each minor/major version).
ps: I've also cc-ed the internals@ list so people won't freak out if/when
we remove the old branches en masse.
