I suppose there's the question of what we want cases where branches might 
have been deleted to look like, both for past history and for future 
development.  Branch deletion in git is not directly equivalent to branch 
deletion in SVN because of the potential for leaving objects unreachable.  
So either you rename the branches (e.g. into dead/) or you keep tags 
pointing to their tips so the history stays reachable.
