Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Analsys by @RaitoBezarius:
There can be situations where a Nixpkgs evaluation is in progress, but gets cancel by a deployment or some other interruption, and there's no recovery of pending work. From there, further channel updates don't get processed and the evaluation system is deadlocked.
The most critical items have been fixed, and the rest is not really actionable right now as we need monitoring. #345
