I don't have strong needs in branch-versionning, so usually, the
reflog is OK for me. When I need to save something, I set a tag on the
current version of the branch before continuing (that's somehow manual
versionning: the tag isn't versionned, so if I actually need history,
I'll set several tags like refs/tags/sent-to-list-as-v1
refs/tags/before-starting-rebase, ...).

But other tools like stgit, topgit & friends may help to manage that
in a cleaner way.
