I usually only have 1-4 branches active at any one point, so it
doesn't get too bad.

I also have a special tag in my E-Mail folder for patches that Junio
hasn't picked up yet or those that I need to work on. It's currently
at around 200 patches :)

I mostly select branches with Emacs's magit which has a fuzzy regex
based selector. "git branch -a | grep ..." also works.

It also helps to use long descriptive branch names, e.g.:

  run-partial-expensive-git-notes-test-everywhere
  run-partial-expensive-git-notes-test-everywhere-v2
