> Can't we tag it and then delete the branch? Any reference. So yes, sure you can. But this doesn't really address the second part of my e-mail -- people would still have to issue:

We really don't need to do anything other than just agree to not commit there... that's part of the reason I wanted more "semantic" names for branches -- they're kind of hard to eradicate once created in public. Anyway, as for branch_5x -- no need to protect anything, really. If somebody DOES commit something (by accident or otherwise) we can always revert those commits (or even force the reference to what it was before the mistake, effectively undoing the change).
