That would be a horrible, horrible notion.
It's quite common to have multiple branches with the same SHA1. It
might be in the "experimental-development" branch, but it got through
testing with flying colors and deemed to be stable, so it got upgraded
to the "for-linus" branch, and there hasn't been any other development
since. So now both "for-linus" and "experimental-development" are the
same commit, but they are very much not the same branch!
So no, don't confuse branch *contents* with branch *descriptions*.
