I don't think that's a problem. Or rather, I'd be willing to try it
and see if it becomes a problem.
That said; does "drop the pruning" mean simply removing "--prune"
from the remove update? I did that, but it still deletes my test-branch
on push. Is there an implicit pruning happening due to some
configuration option or the specific commands I'm using?

This sounds very useful. How would one go about setting up this
configuration?
