If don't know what git-tree-prune is, you can stop reading now.

If you are now curious, look at "git cl archive" or "git rebase-update" instead :)


git-tree-prune is a command in depot_tools hidden inside git_utils, and thus not on the $PATH of most devs.
It was completely untested and as a result got broken. So far, as far as I am aware, only 1 developer noticed this.

Therefore, unless somebody speaks by end of week, I'll kill this code, and recommend to use either of two other tools instead:
* git cl archive
* git map-branches -v -v -v
* git rebase-update (first see colorful tutorial before using it!)
