By setting an expiration time, you can automatically manage the lifecycle of branches. For example, you can automatically delete them when experimental branches are no longer needed. Same meaning as "tag.defilt-time-retained" in tag

I doubt this, branch is a heavy concept to me, it should no be quietly expired.

For important branches, you can set no retention time, allowing for long-term existence;
For some unimportant branches, such as test branches or fix branches, a retention time can be set for easy cleaning;
Actually, I think that most branches do not need to exist for a long time and need to be cleaned up after verification

Because branches are not created frequently or regularly. So I think this kind of branch can be deleted manually.
