Okay, I've done that many times!
I was needing a way to remove the branch!
I didn't know what else I have to remove when removing a branch (since 
I've no revision libraries and didn't know of the use of pristine trees 
made by tla).

Now that I've removed all the pristine trees, I've recreated a correct 
version of the "release" branch. However "Changing_20History" is an 
interesting reading, thank you.

I hope now my branches will evolve without other troubles.
