Thus, those do not need the old branch can easily delete it. I would second this approach. Our svn repository isn't particularly big or old, but if someone were to make a branch now, there is a fair chance it will have the same name as an old branch but have absolutely nothing to do with that old branch. The situation will only get worse as our svn repository grows and more branches are created/deleted.
