For this use case, we may want to consider adding git-like branches and tags instead. I think it would be cleaner to branch and then update the branch. Then you'd be able to stay within a table and reuse data files more cleanly. Sharing files across independent tables has a lot of problems. That would also have a cleaner syntax: `catalog.db.table.branch`. That would prevent us from using some branch names, like `files` but I think overall it would be okay. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
