[Bf-committers] I created a branch accidentally, but I have no 'git rights' to delete it

[Brecht Van Lommel]

The git commit hook was configured this way by accident, it should now
be possible to delete branches again. I deleted fix-fly-center center
now to test, but anyone should be able to do the same if this happens
again.
