Or, "tag" it before deletion. Have a tags/obsolete-branches for experimental branches
where further development is undesirable. If it's a release fix, chances are, you'd want
to tag it anyway.
While tags are not read-only (I think there should be controls at some point in the
future), by convention they can be treated that way. Then, you can close the branch and
delete it at will, without concern about losing the history.
