This comes about ¾ of the way to the history pollution done by
TopGit. Not only would users potentially get confused by this
additional branch (which is an implementation detail), it would also
get in the way in gitk output (cf. pristine-tar) and annoy even the
unconfused.

I am currently investigating means to store information outside the
worktree in an immutable and automatically tracked-and-shared way:

Feedback welcome, of course.
