Stale Branch Use Case

Organization Name (Required - If you are an Oracle Partner, please provide the organization you are logging the idea on behalf of):

Functional Consultant on VBS

Description (Required):

In VBS, we have few branches which we did not used since last 3 months and now they are showing as "Stale" and when we create new branch with the base of that stale branch then branch itself is not reflecting under Git > Refs. 

Sometime, these branches don't need to be updated but to be used when doing deployment in higher environments or creating a new branch out of this branch

Some mechanism should be developed so that branches become active from the Stale state, may be by running some scheduled process. Also, notification should be enabled that the certain specific branch is going to be stale in next 3 days.
