Could this be used instead of tags as a CI build marker? Using automated tagging of every CI build quickly adds up to thousands of tags polluting tag lists and making git slower.

I assume you'd loose the ability to work with them as tags though? git checkout v0123 git difftool v0123 v0158 are quite useful. Didn't know it had a performance impact.

  Good point. Might still be worth it though. When fetching all tags it becomes ridiculous after just a few thousand builds.

    I'm only up to about 2000 but I haven't really seen slowdowns or other issues.

      Maybe it’s because of some setting that always fetches tags? Just writing the branches to the console on fetch seems to take a while.
