    There has been a misunderstanding here. What is mentioned is just a 
convention. You can do whatever you want in your repo and name the 
branches as you see fit.

    As for the absence of permission to delete a branch, iirc it was 
historically setup this way to avoid misusage by the many ppl that 
migrated from CVS and had little experience with Git. As others 
mentioned this can be resolved by opening a bug in the Git component at 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Community
