Yes :-)

Well, the gar "versions" below mgar/gar are basically tags and I don't see
a point in moving it anywhere else apart from making things more obstruct.

I made some further investigations on the specific branches and deleted most of them
as explained below.

This was integrated in r10012:
  https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/changeset/10012
There was one other commit on the branch in r10017
  https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/changeset/10017
which looks erranously and was directly applied to v2 afterwards without merging in r10018:
  https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/changeset/10018

@Ben: I deleted the branch as everything was merged, please make a new branch if required.

This was integrated in r12517:
  https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/changeset/12517
Therefore I removed v2-fortran.

The branch has been integrated into v2 in r11739:
  https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/changeset/11739
Therefore I removed v2-relocate/.

I would just keep it in place until someone picks it up. I just don't see
a downside of leaving it here.
