- Can I merge and delete branches in GIT without affecting the whole system stability (for example `conversion` library currently contains branches like `filesystem_V3`)
If you're a library maintainer, yes. The only branches that you must maintain for system stability are "develop" and "master." However, be aware that some branches in the Boost super-project repository may be referencing commits on your branches. It would be better to rename the branch in question as a nested tag, e.g. refs/heads/some-old-branch becomes refs/tags/old-branches/some-old-branch then it will hide, but the commit won't disappear. Beman, it might make sense for us to make those changes as part of the conversion.
