[yt-dev] Close the yt-3.0 branch?

[Nathan Goldbaum]

Hi all,

I just noticed today that the yt-3.0 branch still shows up in "hg branches"
for fresh clones of the main yt repository. I think that was done on
purpose so that changes on the yt-3.0 branch could be included into the yt
branch after the point when the merged yt-3.0 into the yt branch heading up
to the release of yt-3.0.

At this point, I think we've long passed the time when people might want to
submit pull requests from the yt-3.0 branch. I can make it so that the
yt-3.0 branch will no longer show up in "hg branches" or more importantly
in the branch dropdown menu for commits or pull requests on bitbucket by
creating a --close-branch commit on the yt-3.0 branch. The yt-3.0 branch
will still live on in history and will also show up in "hg branches
--closed".

Unfortunately, it seems I can't make a pull request that includes only a
branch closing commit. Would anyone object to me pushing such a commit
directly to yt_analysis/yt?
