So 1) In git those branches are not deleted, they are just unreachable 
and therefore not displayed. 2) Doing this in mercurial means to track 
the base where a bookmark started from. This involves a bigger change in 
the bookmark extension and I'm not sure if I really like that, even 
though I'm aware that the strip feature is requested by people. I'm 
currently working on it, but I think I like to have feedback from crew 
before doing more in this direction.
