I think the safety feature should check if the branch to be deleted is merged to the remote tracking branch it was forked from, instead of checking the current branch.

What do you think?

I think we shouldn't. At first, every repository don't have a remote.
This may easily be passed by a "double check" with a logical OR between
the two statements.

But even with it, we would hit some foreign workflow. Think: Bob
directly push to Alice and Alice does the same to Bob. I don't use this
kind of workflow myself but I consider them to be sensible enough to
have our attention.

Now, I'm talking about what users may expect from the default behaviour.
I'm not against a new configuration variable. It would certainly give
more granularity to the expectation of "what is safe for me".
