Summary
The article discusses an alternative to tracking release history in Git by storing metadata in linked metainfo commits instead of proliferating refs. It argues that this approach aligns with Git's history model, offering faster lookups and a cleaner, immutable history for releases, with practical commands and diagrams. The piece also contrasts this with the traditional, tag-based release history, noting potential drawbacks and trade-offs.
