Bug 1127815 removed a number of branches from https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/codeaurora_kernel_msm/ containing code we do not want to distribute. These branches are master and all v* branches. git.mozilla.org/b2g/codeaurora_kernel_msm also needs these branches removed.
hwine, do you know who can take care of this? This blocks a legal bug.

It would be awesome if this could get done by the end of the month; we'd like to finish the Firefox OS License Review project by the end of Q1.

Thanks for giving the timeline and dependencies.

This is done. Several notes:
 - deletions are disabled for all b2g repos, so this sort of event will always take manual intervention
 - deletions may not propagate to downstream users, depending on their settings
 - some partners may notice the deletion and ask questions.

Because of the last item, I'd suggest notifying the TPMs in case their partner asks.

technical notes:
 - needed to manually add --prune to fetch from github.com to get deletes to vcs-sync
 - needed to manually add --prune to push to git.mozilla.org
 - needed to override denyDeletes and denyDeleteCurrent on git.mozilla.org
