PyTorch repo has 14,971 branches

Is this really sane project management?

When a branch is merged into master, why not delete the branch?

And only persist branches corresponding to public releases…

A lot of non-release branches seem to be a few years behind without any commit

I see a lot of gh/username/head, gh/username/orig, gh/username/base branches and am wondering if these dead branches are left by ghstack.
CC @ezyang in case these could be cleaned up.
