Leaving branches around would also work depending on the adhoc implimentation. I thought tags would be nicer as they'd be less than leaving thousands of branches. > Yes, I could roll my own adhoc layer on top of git but it wouldn't have any tooling support. Most git commands are ad hoc shell scripts built on git's internal data types. I can't see why adding your own would be that bad, a lot of external git tooling does this.
