} Do we also need the same safety around "git branch -d feature1" by

} already merged (to its upstream)?" condition, so it can protect the
} feature2 branch the same way, by saying either "oops, you cannot

} that depend on it", or "ok, featur2 used to depend on feature1, but

} we will make feature2 depend on origin/master from now on".
