By the way, what do you all do with the "failed experiments", to have them
saved somewhere, but to not make trouble for normal operations?
I usually keep them under .git/refs/tags/hold/. Yesterday (as I
said in another thread) I dropped the 64-bit packfile index
topic I had in jc/pack-toc topic from "pu" by:
git tag hold/jc/pack-toc jc/pack-toc
git branch -D jc/pack-toc
to shelve it and kill it.
In theory, I should occasionally come back to them and see if
they are worth keeping, but in practice they just keep piling up
X-<. I should find time to clean them up.
