It's free to keep it in the repository, but it adds noise to, say, `git branch -r` (command line). The number of Qt versions only grows over time. Also, a branch is for making commits. Since no more commits are accepted for Qt 5.5.1, it makes sense to remove the "5.5.1" branch. If you want the 5.5.1, sources, you can check out the "v5.5.1" tag. > And there are others.

Here's an old, unresolved bug report: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/293099/git-log-failed-with-code-128-fatal-bad-revision-detached-from-35e6d4e Here's what others have done to fix very similar errors: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/94201/error-encountered-on-source-tree-git-log-failed-with-code-128 Regards, Sze-Howe _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
