> We have a large number of branches in the git repo, most of which are old features -- I would bet hardly any of them are active. I think they should be deleted if possible. In addition, we should begin using branches (as opposed to tags) to allow easy switching between Airflow versions. Spark (https://github.com/apache/spark) uses the format {{branch-X.X}}; others like Kafka (https://github.com/apache/kafka) simply use a version number. But this is an important way to browse the history and, most importantly, can't be overwritten like a tag (since tags point at commits and commits can be rebased away).
