What? If you’re looking for “the most natural” then you’ll find it in the name. You can’t “explain” branch by using a synonym.
Plus that definition describes both tags and branches, how do you tell them apart? It’s clearly lacking. Actually that definition fits commits too.
I’d rather use these:
Branch: a pointer that advances
Tag: a permanent pointer
Commit/hash: an even more permanent pointer (because even a force can’t change it) that also describes the changes.
