Subject: [PATCH v8 0/5] branch: prune-merged
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 17:07:33 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2285.v8.git.git.1778605658.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2285.v7.git.git.1778574229.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

 * Delete only when the branch's work is actually reachable from its
   upstream
 * Skip branches whose upstream is gone (even with --force)
 * Simplified the internal safety flag to live in one place

Harald Nordgren (5):
  branch: add --forked <remote>
  branch: let delete_branches warn instead of error on bulk refusal
  branch: add --prune-merged <remote>
  branch: add branch.<name>.pruneMerged opt-out
  branch: add --all-remotes flag

     -    Delete the local branches that --forked <remote> would list,
     -    refusing any whose tip is not reachable from the remote's default
     -    branch. With --force, delete unconditionally. The currently
     -    checked-out branch in any worktree is always preserved.
     +    Delete the local branches that --forked <remote> would list, but
     +    only those whose tip is reachable from their configured upstream
     +    remote-tracking branch (branch.<name>.merge): the work has already
     +    landed on the upstream it tracks, so the local copy is no longer
     +    needed.
     +
     +    A branch whose upstream no longer resolves locally is left alone --
     +    its disappearance is not, on its own, evidence that the work was
     +    integrated. With --force, skip the reachability check and delete
     +    every branch in the candidate set. The currently checked-out
     +    branch in any worktree is always preserved, as is the local branch
     +    that mirrors <remote>'s default branch.
     +
     +    Reachability is read from whatever the remote-tracking refs say
     +    locally, so the natural workflow is
     +
     +            git fetch <remote>
     +            git branch --prune-merged <remote>
     +
     +    with no implicit cleanup driven by fetch itself.
