Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
It currently isn't clear that when creating an archive with processed files, a temporary file is created in the current working directory before it is stored into the archive. This cannot be directly streamed into the archive file because the total file size is needed in advance. If it was directly streamed into the file, the program wouldn't know what size the resulting processed file is. The compromise is to store it on the filesystem temporarily and not in memory.
It should be made clear that creating an archive with a compressor-cmd uses temp files, and it should be possible to specify a place to store temp files instead of the current working directory.
