The more I think about this (and also about how to limit ref
advertisements as recently discussed in
https://public-inbox.org/git/20161024132932.i42rqn2vlpocqmkq@sigill.intra.peff.net/),
the more I think about Shawn's RefTree:
https://public-inbox.org/git/CAJo=hJvnAPNAdDcAAwAvU9C4RVeQdoS3Ev9WTguHx4fD0V_nOg@mail.gmail.com/
Couldn't a RefTree be used to store refs that point to the base
commit, the tip commit and the blob that contains the cover letter,
and maybe also a ref pointing to the RefTree of the previous version
of the series?
