Description Pascal Rapicault

I'm trying to do some cleanup on the p2 git repo and I find myself not able to delete remote branches. Could you please provide me with the appropriate rights to do this?
Thx

Can you be a little more specific about what you want to do and where?

One thing to keep in mind is that the Board has asked us to set deny-fastforward to prevent the history from being changed.

I would like to delete somme of the branches fromm the main p2 repo.
For example, I would like to delete the branch called stats, and some of those who start with bug

Ok, I've removed the deny fastforward restriction on your repo.  Let me know when the cleanup is done.

Ok, I've put the denyNonFastForward and denyDeletes restrictions back on your repo.  Please reopen when you're actually ready to do your cleanup.
