FWIW, I am in favor of both of the above two points. It is quite clear because "exec git branch -f <that branch name>" is spelled out, people can remove the ones they want to keep a copy of when they need to.

I didn't look at the code more deeply than just eyeballing and noticing style violations etc., and will leave the reviewing to others for now.

Thanks.
