At CodeScene, we used to not delete merged git branches, at all. The practice came from Branch Analysis. To get that data, we didn’t want to remove a merged branch immediately. However, we ended up, never deleting them which also causes a problem: over time you accumulate thousands of branches. That creates a mess and makes it hard (or impossible) to select proper branch in CodeScene itself (the max number of branches we load and display is 1000).
