Junio C Hamano [off-list ref] writes:
I like the general direction. Perhaps a long distant future
direction could be to also use the same trick in the ref namespace
so that we can have 'next' branch itself, and 'next/foo', 'next/bar'
forks that are based on the 'next' branch at the same time (it
obviously is a totally unrelated topic)?
I notice that I was responsible for making this topic veer in the
wrong direction by bringing up a new feature "having 'next' and
'next/bar' at the same time" which nobody asked. Perhaps we can
drop that for now to simplify the scope of the topic, to bring the
log graveyard back on track?
