I see these branches are documented: 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/git/#feature-development-branches.
 
In reading that I saw the mention about a grafts file. I don't entirely 
understand what that does but when I was reading about it, I saw "As of Git 
1.6.5, the more flexible git replace 
<http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-replace.html> has been 
added." I don't know if that might allow deleting the branches? Anyway, if 
anyone wants to take some action here that's okay with me as I'm not really 
motivated to invest any more time than clicking "delete branch" which 
apparently isn't acceptable at this time.
