Orphaned commits can get garbage collected at some point, though.

Oh fuck. I didn't think of that. Than you for reminding me.

Edit: Ah but you can only run this in your local repo. If you happen to push anything, you might not be able to run it on the remote. Many DevOps platforms won't allow it.
