Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Currently, keys.dat is created with default permissions on Linux, which often have insecure 644 permissions that are unsatisfactory for keyfiles. I don't know about OSX nor Windows, but I assume they have the same issue. The keys.dat file should be created with a 077 umask.
Ah, yes, and messages.dat needs the same treatment.
