All branch information is maintained within the repository; just ignore it.  The 
whole idea behind a version control system is to be able to recreate any point 
in time, including branches.  The recommended methodology is to create a tag at 
the last point before the branch gets merged to the HEAD, so that you can go 
back to that point easily.
