What we should do is delete all stgit metadata when the last patch
goes away.

This supposes there is no valuable branch-level metadata.  Currently
we have the description - something which could arguably be moved to
the git level as well.  Otherwise that sounds reasonable to me.

Will it be something like

	[branch "master"]
        	description = "My primary development line"

if so I think that is a reasonable thing to do, from git-core's
point of view.  Obviously, gitk, tig, gitweb and friends can use
this, too.

Are there other per-branch information StGIT wants to keep on an
active branch that might benefit the core as well?

And we shouldn't have "stg init", either. Initing should be done
automatically when needed.

Good idea as well, that would make stg more accessible to the average
plain-git user.

Yes, I wished for this often myself.
