Proposal

We currently don't have an easy way of keeping track of when branches were created.

You can obtain that information via the Events API, but this only keeps track of 3 years worth of data because of performance reasons.

Other than that, it is not possible to obtain this information easily.

It would be helpful to have the created_at date of a branch stored so that it can be easily retrieved in the UI/ REST API/ GraphQL.
