The branches we mainly care about should generally only have 1 head in
the public repository (the tip for the default branch, the last merge
point to default for 3.2 and 2.7, the last merge point to 3.2 for
3.1).

Oldest in terms of the bug fix merging workflow (i.e.
3.1->3.2->default, or 2.6->2.7 if you're actually updating more than
just 2.7 in the 2.x series)

Cheers,
