I even told you exactly why, for things like the suggested "cherry-pick" thing. Which still remains the "best" example. And I say "best", because as an example it totally sucks. Again, for reasons I made very clear. The fact is, there is _zero_ reason for this field to exist. Nobody has actually mentioned a single use that is really valid and that people can agree on across different uses. So here's the challenge: name _one_ thing that people actually can agree on, and that adds real measurable _value_ from a core git standpoint. Something where the semantics actually change what git does. The "track it with pull/push" thing is NOT one such thing, however much you protest. We already _have_ that thing. It's called a "ref", and it's really really easy to create anywhere in .git/refs/, and the tools already know how to use it.
