16 branches were deleted from origin during cleanup. Eleven carried commits that exist nowhere else. GitHub does not keep deleted refs indefinitely and the only other copy was a local file, so record the SHAs here.

16 branches were deleted from
originduring the cleanup. Eleven of them carried commits that exist nowhere else.GitHub does not keep deleted refs indefinitely, and until now the only record was a git-excluded file on one laptop. This puts the SHAs in the repo so anyone can restore a branch with
git push origin <sha>:refs/heads/<name>.Also notes which two branches were deliberately kept and why.
