- When a process is started that might change data, this should be logged in Scala at info level.
- When a user expects confirmation of a successful operation, this should also be logged in Scala - the scripts do not need to print a "finished successfully" message.
- When a process terminates abnormally, this should be logged and printed to the console in Scala - the scripts do not need to print a "finished abnormally" message.
- Do not override
vals that are referenced in the constructor. This avoids ugly order of initialization corner cases.

If a branch is not going to the main branch anytime soon, consider doing a 'fake merge' to the retired_branches branch and then delete it. That way it will still be available 'just in case' while not cluttering the branch list:
git checkout retired_branches
git merge -s ours origin/branch-to-retire
git push
# now delete the remote branch branch-to-retire
