Yes, and that would be setup by tg-remote, which already sets this
up for refs/top-bases/*.

tg-export should make this all transparent, i.e. you should be able
to push your branches like before, and top-bases will also be
pushed.

The nice thing about topgit is that it's really just a thin layer on
top of Git, so everything Git also works with TopGit.

Tagging previous version of topic branches/patches.

I am sure pristine-tar could be redesigned to git in with Git
better.
