When I do something like your example, I create a temporary
lightweight tag and push it.  Snapshots in JIT are just a bunch
of lightweight tags so..

I like the scripting, and combining pipelines of commands kind of thing. 

I agree that you can just make a temporary tag, but it's a bit like in any
scripting stuff - you could use a temp-file, but it's just cleaner if you
can keep temporary values in local variables (or in a local cmd pipeline
like the above).

Whenever you script somethign that creates a new tag or ref, you suddenly 
have cleanup and uniqueness issues etc.
