I've certainly made the mistake of accidentally creating branches
in dist-git and now being stuck with them because we can't delete
them. Now that
src.fedoraproject.org (dist-git) is backed by a newer
version of pagure you can prevent creating new branches by `git push`.
For your project in the web UI:
- Go to the `Settings` menu
- Select `Hooks` from the left hand side
- Expand `Prevent creating new branches by git push`
- Click the checkbox
- Click `Update`
I personally think this should be the default for all projects but
I don't know if there is a way to easily make that happen when a project
gets created.
Hope this helps someone!
