+.DESCRIPTION
+    Removes all Git branches that have been merged into the sepcified commit
+    (HEAD by default).

+    includes the current branch as well as develop and master.
+.EXAMPLE
+    PS> Remove-MergedGitBranch
+    Removes all merged branches except the current, develop and master.
+.EXAMPLE
+    PS> Remove-MergedGitBranch -Force
+    Removes all merged branches except the current, develop and master.
