Re: Marking abandoned branches

Moving the refs into refs/abandoned would work too. We would need new
git commands to do this and flags on the visualization tools to

recording state about the repository in the refs directory instead of
writing this state into the repo itself.

Well, the refs directory is _part_ of the repository. Think about it, if 
you do not know which branches are in the object database, you lack a lot 
of information.

BTW the moving of a branch to a tag in refs/abandoned/ is trivial.
