Huh, so what is the current state here?

It appears that we:
- list all branch heads
- sort by open vs closed
- sort by rev
- display open / closed / inactive

This is.. unfortunate. We should probably not show closed branches at
all and we've long considered active/inactive to be a meaningless and
outdated concept (starting the day we introduced closed branches).

We should instead:

- list only open branch heads
- sort by rev

This can in fact be done today purely in templates, with something like:

{ifeq(status, 'closed', '', '{branch}....'}

And we can have separate lists using something like the above as well.
Perhaps an on-click method to show closed branches would be better than
a session variable.
