combine-thread is used to remove a thread from the stack when its code has been merged in one of the down-threads.
However, there are use cases where the code in the thread is no longer relevant and should be completely removed.
For example, ubuntu made a patch to a package. Debian fixed the bug using a different patch, thus the ubuntu patch should be completely removed from the loom (using combine-thread in this case will keep the code around in the threads above the combined threads). |

Being able to say 'I do not want a thread in my branch' would be useful. combine-thread acknowledges a merge of a thread to upstream, perhaps 'eject-thread' would be a good name for something that:
reverse-merges out a thread to the one above
removes the lower thread from the loom
(possibly) commits the merge if there were not conflicts |

add a command to delete a thread |
an eject-thread command would be good |
