Alternatively, they want to look into these branches again – especially the unmerged ones. So, let people know that you just did this on the metasploit-hackers list and the Freenode IRC channel. If someone wants an old branch back, just go to your backup clone and push it back up as you would any branch: <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">git checkout branchname && git push origin branchname</code>.
