This can be a bit confusing, but even though these branches are deleted |
| 15 |
they are still saved as refs in your repository. Only after a certain |
| 16 |
time they get cleaned up by git gc. |

Have a look at the configuration section of |
| 19 |
# git help gc |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
In particular, look at the value of gc.reflogExpire you are currently |
| 22 |
using. |
