Feature proposal - branch deletion

[Misieq]

Hi

 

I think that it could be nice possibility to remove branch even if there are some changesets.

 

Rationale:

In our case for localhost repositories we mainly decided to Pull /main and /development branches. Branches related to tasks performer by other engineers are pulled only if really needed.

Our project is quite huge and I am affraid that after some time disc space on local machine will start to be a problem (SQLLite size will grow and grow).

It would be best to have such possibility to remove not needed branches to save space. Of course for security reasons such option shall be configurable via special permission  (e.g. on central/backup server it could be disabled).

 

Best regards

Hi,

 

Plastic offers the archive feature:

Not sure if it helps in your environment.

 

Regards,

HI

 

It looks that archive command could be applied per individual file...

 

What I meant was complete task-branch deletion which is not anymore neede at developer's machine.

Deletion would be much more convinient becuase:

- Disk space reduction

- Branch Explorer clean-up (I know that there are some filters possible to be applied but I think deletion would be more convinient and have better performance).
