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).Once a release is made it is tagged, so the branch is then entirely redundant, right? Or are branches sometimes ahead of the tag? Assuming the former, then getting rid of the branches once the release its tagged makes perfect sense to me. Much less needless git clutter.
