There's a middle ground: we could have *two* Git repositories. The one with just the minimum set of required branches/tags (==used for main development). Another one could hold extra tags/branches. So the ones who are interested in those could fetch from that repo. Then mainline repo is not cluttered by outdated branches/tags, and you can still have all the refs in your working copy. However that might be an overkill since I don't really imagine much good from browsing historical "test" branches. Vladimir
