Officially, it isn't; history is permanent. Even if you remove them, it'll
cause problems if you ever create a new branch with the same name in an
archive with the same name.
For that reason, when you're no longer going to use a branch, it's not a
bad idea to still keep it around and simply seal it (so it won't show up
in rbrowse). If you know a set of branches will be temporary, it's not
a bad idea to make an archive (with a unique name) just for the purpose.
Unofficially, you can just delete the files from the archive -- but be
sure that you never create new branches with the same name!
