One curiosity, once there is an alpha, why would you delete the whole
branch?
Couldn't you change everything on the existing branch without deleting it?
It's unusual to rewrite the history of upstream branches but we have
done it before.
Well first, I never said it would be deleted after the Alpha. I said it
would be deleted *at some point*, meaning at some point after 6 is moved to
master.
Also, IMO, topic branches upstream are generally speaking a very bad idea.
So this is something we hardly ever do - maybe y'all do on other projects,
dunno. But either way, it is very common for a topic branch to go away
eventually.
As far as re-writing history, sure it is unusual but we are already in the
realm of unusual merely by having a topic branch upstream
