BTW, the best way IMHO to archive old refs is to clone your repo (with all
tags/branches) to a backup disk, and then regularly push (git push --all &&
git push --tags) your new tags/branches to this backup. You are now free to
delete these tags/branches from your work repo (they will not be deleted
from the backup unless you use "git push --mirror"). And if you ever need
to retrieve an old tag/branch, it's just a matter of pulling it from the
backup repo. Nice, clean, flexible, and requires no changes to git.
Have fun! :)
